(a) Determine the quantity supplied when price per litre is (i) 0 Naira (it) 24 Naira (iii) 40 Naira (iv) 60 Naira (v) 80 Naira
(b) From your calculations in (a)(i) present the supply schedule (ii) draw the supply curve.
Explanation
(a)
(i) Qs = 25 + 0.25(0) = 25 +0 = 25 Litres
(ii) 25 + 0.25(24) = 25 + 6 = 31 Litres
(iii) 25 + 0.25 (40) = 25 + 10 = 35 Litres
(iv) 25 + 0.25 (60) = 25 + 15 = 40 Litres
(v) 25 +0.25 (80) = 25 + 20 = 45 Litres
(b) (i)
| Price (N) | Quantity (Litres) |
| 0.00 | 25 |
| 24.00 | 31 |
| 40.00 | 35 |
| 60.00 | 40 |
| 80.00 | 45 |
