Solution

The correct statement is: bThe equilibrium price of pizza is below $10.

Here's why:

aThere is a shortage of pizza at a price of $10. - This is incorrect. A shortage occurs when the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied. In this case, the quantity supplied (150) is greater than the quantity demanded (100), so there is no shortage.

bThe equilibrium price of pizza is below $10. - This is correct. Equilibrium occurs when quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. In this case, the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded, which suggests that the price is too high and will need to decrease to reach equilibrium.

cThe quantity of pizzas sold will be 150. - This is incorrect. The quantity sold will be determined by the quantity demanded, not the quantity supplied. In this case, the quantity demanded is 100, so that is the quantity that will be sold.

dAt equilibrium, fewer than 100 pizzas will be sold. - This is incorrect. At equilibrium, the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. In this case, we know that the quantity demanded is 100, so at equilibrium, 100 pizzas will be sold.

eThe pizza market is in equilibrium. - This is incorrect. The market is not in equilibrium because the quantity demanded does not equal the quantity supplied.
