DIRECTIONS: Create the demand schedule, demand curve, supply schedule, and supply curve.
In one pharmaceutical company, the annual demand for a drug used to treat malaria is qd = 405 − 2P,
while the supply is qs = 5 + 3P.
Construct the demand schedule and curve, and the supply schedule and curve with the average price of
P50, P60, P70, P80, P90, P100. Attach your graphing paper for the demand and supply curve.
Demand Sol.
Qd = 405 − 2P
= 405 – 2 (50) = 405 – 2 (60) = 405 – 2 (70) = 405 – 2 (80) = 405 – 2 (90) = 405 – 2 (100)
= 405 – 100 = 405 – 120 = 405 – 140 = 405 – 160 = 405 – 180 = 405 – 200
Supply Sol.
Qs = 5 + 3P
- As the prices of the drugs used to treat malaria increases, the quantity annual demand
decreases. The graph shows an inverse relationship between the two variables.
- The relationship is inversely proportional as economists call this the Law of Demand. If the
prices of the product increases, less people would be willing to buy as they seek products that
are cheaper. As a result, the quantity demanded will decrease as it is not sought out. And as the
prices decrease, the quantity demanded increases.
⦁ What is the price where the demand curve and supply curve intersect?
- When the price is at 80. The demand curve line is going down meanwhile the supply curve is
going up. There is a point where the demand and supply curve meet, and that is where both
prices are at 80. This is called equilibrium price, the point where the quantity demanded is equal
to the quantity supplied.
