Supply and Demand

Supply and demand is the most basic principal of economics. The table below shows corn production and demand in the US in 2004/2005 and 2010/2011.

Year

Supply (in millions of bushels) 11,806


13,370

Demand (in millions of bushels) 10,661


13,300

2004/2005
20010/2011

Assume that the rate of change for each year is constant. Will the demand for corn ever surpass the supply? If so, when would this happen? Justify your answer.
