Price Qd Qs

10       220 90

11       200 100

12        180  130

13        150 150

14        120 190

15        80 260

At a celling of $11 dollars the people would demand for 200 untis but suppliers will only be willing to produce and sell 100 untis.

The equilibrium price of $13 match for 150 units

Therefore,the decrease will be 50 units
