Title: Competitive firms and maximization
Post by: Emmanuel Antwi on Sep 4, 2022
 Suppose there are only two goods – Food (F) and Shelter (S). The demand equations for these two goods depend on their prices, pF and pS as follows:

DF (pF, pS) = 10 – 2pF – pS

DS (pF, pS) = 10 – pF – 2pS

The supply curves depend only on their own prices:

SF (pF) = pF

SS (pS) = 5pS

Determine the equilibrium price and quantity of these goods.

Hi Emmanuel,

I found a similar question with its solution.

And the solution:

Does that help?
