The demand function for a certain model of Blu-ray player is given by 300 p = 0.5x + 1 where p is the unit price in dollars and x (in units of a thousand) is the quantity demanded per week. What is the consumers' surplus if the selling price is set at $150/unit? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
In this problem, p is in dollars and q is the number of units. (a) Find the elasticity of the demand function pg = 21 at p = 3. (b) How will a price increase affect total revenue? O since the demand is elastic, an increase in price will decrease the total revenue. O since the demand is inelastic, an increase in price will decrease the total revenue. O since the demand is elastic, an increase in price will increase the total revenue. O since the demand is inelastic, an increase in price will increase the total revenue. O since the demand is unitary, there will be no change in the revenue with a price increase.

I 56 W Demand True or False: The slope of the demand curve is equal to the value of the price elasticity of demand. Elastic Inelastic Unit Elastic
Suppose that the price per unit p as a function of the demand is p=√1056 - 2x. (a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when = 305. 305 therefore the demand is elastic 1056 - 2(305) n = (b) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when x = 406. 406 1056 - 2(406) η = therefore the demand is inelastic (c) Find the demand x that gives unit elasticity. x = 528
Suppose that the price per unit p as a function of the demanda is p = 478.8 -0.9x. (a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when x = 132. n = -2.44, therefore the demand is elastic (b) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when x = 425. n = -0.202 therefore the demand is inelastic (c) Find the demand that gives unit elasticity. x = 266.0 ✓

(Give your answer to east two decimal places) d) Estimate the percentage change in the demand for good1 resulting from a 4% decrease in the price of good2. (Give your answer to two decimal places, if required)
The cost for one Lyft ride entails $1 in car upkeep, $1.50 in fuel, $2 in taxes and fees, and $7 in foregone salary. What is the economic profit if a driver is paid $12 for one ride? In Montana, the median earnings per trip for an Uber driver is $29.34, the average earnings/ trip for a Lyft driver is $28.62, and the average earnings/ trip for a taxi driver is $17.22. Optimal behavior assumed, what is the opportunity cost of the driver’s employment decision per ride? Assume the driver can only work for one company at a time.
