... To find upper and lower bounds for P(2)means that we must find a price that is greater
than P(2) and a price that is less than P(2).For instance
51 <P(2)< 75,
so 51 is a lower bound and 75 ... equilibrium price and quantity? Assume price is measured in dollars
and quantity in thousands of units. (The equilibrium occurs when supply and
demand are equal.)
