Answer:

The market equilibrium price is ​$ 2.50 and the equilibrium quantity is 45 units.

IF price floor is set at $5 then it will be a surplus of quantity.

Explanation:

[tex]\left \{ {{QD=50-2P} \atop {QS=40+2P}} \right.[/tex]

50 - 2P = 40+2P

50-40 = 2P + 2P

10 = 4P

10/4 = P

2.5= P

50-2*2.5 = 50- 5 = Q45

If P = 5

40 + 2P = 40 + 2*5 = 50 supply quantity

50 - 2*5 = 50 - 10 = 40 demand quantity

supply will be greater than demand, it will be a surplus
