Consider the following sequence of changes in the demand and supply for cab service in some city. The price P is a price per mile, while quantity is the total length of cab rides over a month (in thousands of miles).

January: Initial demand and supply are given by the equations Qs = 30P - 30 (when P â¥ 1), and Qd = 120 - 20P

February: Due to higher prices of gasoline, the supply of cab service changed to Qs = 30P - 60 (when P â¥ 2).

March: Over the spring break, the demand for taxi service was higher and therefore demand curve was given by the equation Qd = 140 - 20P.

a) For each month find equilibrium price and quantity. (0.5 mark)

b) Provide a textual explanation, using supply and demand concepts, for the changes found over the three months. (0.5 mark)
