1. Use the following information to answer questions 1-5. The quantity of tea demanded, QD,
depends on the price of tea, PT, and the price of coffee, PC. The quantity of tea supplied, QS,
depends on the price of tea, PT, and the price of electricity, PE, according to the following
equations:
QD = 12 - 5PT + 3PC
QS = 30 + 2PT - 4PE
