Q. No. Question CO PO Level*
1. Suppose the market demand and supply function for Cakes per day in Rourkela city is given as
Qd = 180-25P and Qs = - 40+30P, where Qd, Qs and P refers to quantity demanded, quantity
supplied and price respectively.
a) Draw the demand and supply graph and show the market equilibrium price and quantity.
CO2 PO6 L3
b) Graphically analyse the market situation if the actual price of Cake is Rs. 6/-. What will happen
to the price of Cake in the given situation? CO2 PO6 L4
c) By constructing appropriate demand and supply model graphically analyse the effect of
increased price of refined wheat flour and the doctor’s statement that more consumption of
CO2 PO6 L4
Cakes is not good for health on demand, supply, price, quantity demanded and quantity supplied
of Cakes.
2. a) The supply and demand function for labour in the local labour market is given below:
QdL = 1600 – 2W and QsL = -200 + 4W,
Where QLd= Quantity demanded of labour (in No),
QLs= Quantity supplied of labour (in No), and CO2
W = Wage rate (in Rs.) PO6 L3
Plot the demand and supply functions of labour in a graph and determine the equilibrium wage
rate and quantity demanded and supplied for labour in local labour market.
b) Graphically analyse the labour market situation if the actual wage rate of labour is Rs.400/.
Determine its impact on the wage rate? CO2 PO6 L4
c) Graphically analyse the labour market situation if the actual wage rate of labour is Rs.200/.
Determine its impact on the wage rate? CO2 PO6 L4
