Suppose that the long-run world demand and supply elasticities of crude oil are -0.906 and 0.515, respectively

The current long-run equilibrium price is $30 per barrel and the equilibrium quantity is 16.88 billion barrels per year. a. Derive the (linear) long-run demand and supply equations. b. Suppose the long-run supply curve you derived above consists of competitive supply plus the quantity of OPEC supply. If the long-run competitive supply (not including OPEC's production) is: QS = 7.78 + 0.29p, what must be OPEC?s level of production in this long-run equilibrium to maintain the price of $30?
