The Market for Wheat Is Characterized by = 21

question 35

Multiple Choice

The market for wheat is characterized by = 21 - 2P_w + P_c and
= P_w, where Q_w is the quantity of wheat in millions of bushels, P_w is the price per bushel of wheat, and P_c is the price per bushel of corn. The market for corn is characterized by
= 21 - 2P_c + P_w and
= P_c, where
Is the quantity of corn in millions of bushels. In general equilibrium, what are the prices of wheat and corn?

• A) P_w = $12; P_c = $12
• B) P_w = $6.50; P_c = $9.50
• C) P_w = $9.50; P_c = $6.50
• D) P_w = $10.50; P_c = $10.50
