Suppose the following graph shows the supply of and demand for admission to Duke University, where supply represents the number of student openings and demand represents the number of students who want to attend Duke (i.e., the number of student applications) at any given level of tuition. Use the graph to help you answer the questions that follow. You will not be graded on any adjustments made to the graph. Tool tip: Click and drag one or both of the curves. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just try again and drag it a little farther. $24,000/$40,000/$32,000/$16,000 The equilibrium level of tuition at Duke is per academic year.
