Correct Answer: 41720 units


Solution : The correct option is 41720 units.

Demand (D) = 80200 - 13P,

Supply (S) = 6200 + 12P

For the equilibrium position,

Demand (D) should be equal to Supply (S)

80200 - 13P = 6200 + 12P

80200 - 6200 = 13P + 12P

74000 = 25P

P = 74000/25P = 2960

Now that you have the equilibrium price (P = 2960), you can find the equilibrium quantity by plugging this price into either the demand or supply equation. Let's use the demand equation:

D = 80200 - 13P => D = 80200 - 13(2960) => D = 80200 - 38480                =>  D = 41720 Units
