Every month a certain firm purchases exactly 50 bottles of water to restock its kitchen, regardless of price. Assume that the whole water stock is consumed during the work week and that no extra bottles will be purchased. What is the firm's own price elasticity of demand for this product in absolute value?

and the cost function of the second firm is , where are all positive parameters. The demand function in this industry is where α C(q₁) = A * qu C(92) = Bq₂ (A, B, a, ß) Q = Dp (D,y)
The manager of a bicycle shop has found that, at a price (in Rands) of p(x) = 150 –x/4 per bicycle, x bicycles will be sold . Answer the following:• Find an expression for the total revenue from the sale of x bicycles. (Hint: Revenue = Demand *Price. )• Find the expression for the quantity to be sold q if the demand function demand is given byp = -10q + 3200• What is the number of bicycles x, sold if the price is R40

Please no written by hand the demand function for a manufacturer's product is p = f(g) = - 0.20g + 500, where p is the price (in dollars) per unit when q units are demanded (per day). Find the level of production that maximizes the manufacturer's total revenue and determine this revenue. what quantity will maximize the revenue. q = blank units
ABC Manufacturing has determined that the demand function for their glow-in-the-dark headbands is given 2 by: D(p) = 160-p². a. Find E(p), the Elasticity of Demand as a function of price, p. E(p) b. Find the Elasticity of Demand when glow-in-the-dark headbands are selling at a price of $9. Give result accurate to at least 3 decimal places. E(9) = = c. At this price ($9): We would say the demand for glow-in-the-dark headbands is: Select an answer Based on this, in order to increase revenue we should: [Select an answer P = d. Use the Elasticity model to determine the price that maximizes revenue. (Round result to 2 decimal places.)

Viking Publishing House observed that in the recent years books on nature conservation and climate change have been very popular. As a matter of fact, Jane Goodall's latest book, "The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for an Endangered Planet" has been a best-seller and Viking estimates the following demand curve for the book: P = 150 - Q In this equation, P is the price of the book and Q denotes yearly sales in thousands 20,000 books would be expressed as Q = 20 books. In other words, Viking estimates that it incurs a cost of $40 for printing and shipping of each book and pays a $10 royalty to Jane Goodall for each book sold. a. Calculate the profit maximizing OUTPUT and PRICE for this book. Also, calculate the TOTAL PROFITS.
