The completion of the table is shown below;

Price                   Quantity Demanded               Quantity Supplied

($ per widget)             (widgets)                               (widgets)

$2                                     5                                                1

$4                                     5                                               2

$8                                     5                                               3

$12                                   4                                                4

$20                                  3                                                5

$32                                  2                                                5

$44                                 1                                                 5
