Demand for Corn Flakes is: P = 10 - Q

Supply of Kellogg's Corn Flakes is: P = 2 + Q

Now a generic company enters the market, selling generic Corn Flakes for $4. Assume consumers are indifferent between generic and Kellogg's Corn Flakes. How many boxes of generic Corn Flakes will sell?

Respuesta :

Based on the information given, the number of boxes of generic corn flakes that will be sold is 6 units.

From the equation given, the demand for Corn Flakes is: P = 10 - Q while the supply of Kellogg's corn flakes is: P = 2 + Q.

Therefore, we'll equate both the demand and supply and this will be:

10 - Q = 2 + Q

Q + Q = 10 - 2

2Q = 8

Q = 8/2 = 4.

Therefore, P will be:

P = 10 - Q.

P = 10 - 4 = 6

When a generic company enters the market, selling generic Corn Flakes for $4, the demand will be:

P = 10 - Q

4 = 10 - Q

Q = 10 - 4 = 6

In conclusion, 6 units will be sold.
