Suppose you are given the following demand curves: Q = 32 - P and Q = 16 - (P/2). Add these two demand curves vertically and find the market demand curve.

What will be an ideal response?


The demand curve has two portions. When Q is between 0 and 16, the demand curve is Q =
(64/3) - (P/3). When Q is between 16 and 32, the demand curve is Q = 32 - P.
