Recently, the spot market price of U. S. hot rolled steel plummeted to $400 per ton. Just one year ago, this same ton of steel cost $700. According to Metals Monitor, the drop in price was due to falling oil prices, along with a rise in cheap imports and excess capacity. These dramatic market changes have greatly impacted the supply of raw steel.
Suppose that last year the supply for raw steel was Qsraw= 600 + 4P, but this year it has shifted to Qsraw = 4,200 + 4P.
Assuming the market for raw steel is competitive and that the current worldwide demand for steel is Qdraw = 9,000 – 8P, compute the equilibrium price and quantity for the steel market one year ago, and the equilibrium price–quantity combination for the current steel market.
Price one year ago: $
Quantity one year ago:
Price for current market: $
Quantity for current market:
