At what price, will demand be equal to 728 for the following demand function Q(P) = 3403 – 25 P
Suppose the demand function for a product is given by the function: D(q) = -0.018q+50.4 Find the Consumer's Surplus corresponding to q = 1,550 units. (Do no rounding of results until the very end of your calculations. At that point, round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. It may help you to sketch the demand curve, which crosses the horizontal at q = 2,800.) dollars Answer:
Suppose the demand equation is where x is the number of items sold when the per unit price is p dollars. Determine (a) the revenue function, (b) the domain revenue function, (c) the revenue derived from the sale of the 100th item-the marginal revenue when x = 100, (d) estimate the level of production that maximizes the revenue, and the maximum revenue.
An economic consultant for Gumbcorp. recently provided the firm’s marketing manager with this estimate of the demand function for the firm’s product: Qxd=12,000 -3Px + 4Py - 1M + 2Ax where Qxd represents the amount consumed of good X, Px is the price of good X, is the price of good Y, M is income, and Ax represents the amount of advertising spent on good X. Suppose good X sells for $200 per unit, good Y sells for $15 per unit, the company utilizes 2,000 units of advertising, and consumer income is $10,000. How much of good X do consumers purchase? Are goods X and Y substitutes or complements? Is good X a normal or an inferior good
Let a demand function be given by Q(P)=100-5P, where P is between 0 and 2O. Then, when the price increases by 3 dollars, the quantity demanded decreases by 5 O decreases by 5/3 O decreases by 0.6 decreases by 0.2 O decreases by 15

1. A company has estimated that its total cost (TC) function is: TC = 12,000 + 60Q Where Q refers to quantity. The marketing department of this company is unable to estimate the demand function for the company but believes the price elasticity for the company's products is (-)4. Given this information, calculate the profit maximising price
Question #2 Consider the following demand function for frozen dinners where QD is the quantity of frozen dinners demanded per week, P is the price per frozen dinner, PF is the price per fast food meal, Y is the average yearly consumer income, and A is the number of advertisements for frozen dinners. Demand Function for Frozen Dinners: QD = 1,000 – 10P + 20PF – 0.01Y + A Suppose that a frozen dinner sells for $4, a fast food meal sells for $6, average yearly consumer income is $50,000, and that there are 20 advertisements for frozen dinners. Calculate and interpret the income elasticity of demand. Calculate and interpret the cross-price elasticity of demand with respect to fast food meals.
