उत्तर
To derive the market demand schedule for apples, you sum the quantity demanded by all five consumers (Shyam, Sita, Renu, Ahmed, and John) at each price level. Here’s the step-by-step calculation based on the data provided:
1) At ₹25 per Kg:
Total Market Demand = 16 + 15 + 12 + 14 + 18 = 75 Kg
2) At ₹30 per Kg:
Total Market Demand = 12 + 11 + 10 + 8 + 15 = 56 Kg
3) At ₹35 per Kg:
Total Market Demand = 10 + 9 + 8 + 6 + 12 = 45 Kg
4) At ₹40 per Kg:
Total Market Demand = 8 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 8 = 28 Kg
The market demand schedule, which you provided as a hint, matches the calculated totals:
- At ₹25 per Kg: 75 Kg
- At ₹30 per Kg: 56 Kg
- At ₹35 per Kg: 45 Kg
- At ₹40 per Kg: 28 Kg
