Answer:

$6 per bushel

3 thousand bushels

Explanation:

The equilibrium price is the price for which the quantities demanded and supplied are the same, regardless of the price floor.

The equilibrium quantity is given by:

[tex]P_D=P_S\\9-Q=2Q\\Q=3\ thousand\ bushels[/tex]

The equilibrium price is:

[tex]P = 9 - Q = 9-3\\P=\$6[/tex]

At market equilibrium, the price is $6 per bushel, and the equilibrium quantity is 3 thousand bushels.
