4. An economic consultant provides a firm's marketing manager with the following estimate of the demand function for the firm's product: Qx = 1240 – 3.13Px – 0.611P, + 2.01M + 0.30A, Px = the price of the firm's product per unit; Py = the price of another good per unit; M = money income for the average consumer, Ax = advertising costs for the firm's product. The demand function shown above indicates that: A. The firm's good (X) and the other good (Y) are substitutes and that X is an inferior good B. The firm's good (X) and the other good (Y) are complements and that X is an inferior good C. The firm's good (X) and the other good (Y) are substitutes and that X is a normal good D. The firm's good (X) and the other good (Y) are complements and that X is a normal good

Your firm is considering entering a new territory. From market research, you have obtained the following demand function that explains how your price (P in dollars) and advertising (A in thousands of dollars) choices influence the quantity demanded (Q in thousands of units). Q = 20 - 6P + 2A To enter the new market you plan on running $10,000 worth of ads. The marginal cost of producing your product is $1 per unit. 3a) What is your profit maximizing price, quantity sold, and profit?
An analyst for FoodMax estimates that the demand for its “Brand X" potato chips is given by: InQx = 10.34 – 3.2 In Px+ 4Py+ 1.5 In Ax where Qx and Px are the respective quantity and price of a four-ounce bag of Brand X potato chips, Pyis the price of a six-ounce bag sold by its only competitor, and Ax is FoodMax's level of advertising on brand X potato chips. Last year, FoodMax sold 5 million bags of Brand X chips and spent $0.25 million on advertising. Its plant lease is $2.5 million (this annual contract includes utilities) and its depreciation charge for capital equipment was $2.5 million; payments to employees (all of whom earn annual salaries) were $0.5 million. The only other costs associated with manufacturing and distributing Brand X chips are the costs of raw potatoes, peanut oil, and bags; last year FoodMax spent $2.5 million on these items, which were purchased in competitive input markets. Based on this information, what is the profit-maximizing price for a bag of Brand X…
Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. The demand for airline travel is quite sensitive to price. Typically, there is an inverse relationship to between demand and price; when price decreases, demand increases and vice versa. One major airline has found that when the price (p) for a round trip between Chicago and Los Angeles is $600, the demand (D) is 500 passengers per day. When the price is reduced to $400, demand is 1,200 passengers per day. Use a data table to estimate the price that maximizes total revenue.
The demand functions for a pineapple is given by p=-0.10x+15. a.) find the revenue function b.) how many pineapples will you sell when you are maximizing revenue? c.) what price gives the maximum revenue and what is the maximum revenue?
Question: Your marketing department has identified the following customer demographics in the following table.

(a) Find the elasticity. (b) Find the elasticity when x = 2. (c) At $2 per plant, will a small increase in price cause the total revenue to increase or decrease? (a) The elasticity is
The demand for a new computer game can be modeled by p(x) = 43-4 In x, for 0sxS800, where p(x) is the price consumers will pay, in dollars, and x is the number of games sold, in thousands. Recall that total revenue is given by R(x) =x•p(x). Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a) Find R(x). R(x) = b) Find the marginal revenue, R'(x). R'(x) =O c) How many units will be sold if the price that consumers are willing to pay is $40? The number of units that will be sold is (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
Market for ABC company’s clothing ABC clothing company produces clothing that is sold online and in catalogs, which is catered to a lower income consumer. Suppose the company’s demand curve for 2019 was the following: Qd = 2000 – 150P +1.1A + 15PDEF And the company’s supply curve was Qs = 250 + 5P, where Qd is the quantity of product demanded for ABC company clothing P = the average price of goods produced by ABC company A = Advertising expenditures in dollars PDEF = the average price of DEF clothing, a competitor’s clothing, in dollars Qs is the quantity of product supplied for ABC company’s clothing Calculate the price elasticity of demand for good ABD. Based on your answer, if the company increases prices, what will happen to total revenue?
Consider the demand function d(p)=300e^−0.01p^2 items purchased when charging p dollars per item. Currently the price is 9 dollars per item. Use marginal analysis to estimate the decrease in demand when the price increases by 0.3 dollars per item. Demand would decrease by approximately _____ items. Round your answer to three decimal places.
The Edgewater Hotel in Seattle has 210 guest rooms. When they charge a discounted rate of $250 per night, the occupancy rate is 80%. Experience has shown that each $10 increase in rate results in 5 fewer occupied rooms. Define the function that models the total revenue to the hotel as a function of x, the number of $10 price increases.
