9. Application: Elasticity and hotel rooms The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Rivers Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool.

3. The Burrito Barn is considering a price reduction on the Firegut Burrito, which currently sells for the price of $5.00. Giuseppe, the proprietor of Burrito Barn, knows the price elasticity for the Firegut is roughly equal to -2.3 over the range being considered for the price change. The Firegut has been selling at the brisk pace of 500 burritos per week. To increase market share, Giuseppe would like to increase sales to 750 per week. What price should Giuseppe set?

Comsumer Surplus Study The goal of this assignment is to apply Calculus to analyze consumer and producer surplus. This activity is based off the economical principles discussed in Section 3.1 of "Principle of Economics" and Section 7 of Chapter 3 in the Business Calculus book. The table below shows how supply and demand of gasoliine vary depending on the price: Price ($/gal) Demand (million of gal.) Supply (million of gal.) 753 513 550 1.2 700 1.4 640 600 1.6 580 639 1.8 543 660 2.2 450 680 2.4 430 700 2.6 420 720 2.8 390 735 3. 367 763 Note: there is some randomization in the above data to account for price fluctuations.

A1). The price, p, that a bookstore charges for a special gift edition of a popular trilogy is related to the demand, q, by the equation 100pq + q? = 5,000,000. Suppose the price is currently set at $40. (a). At what rate is the demand currently changing with respect to this price? (Include units) (b). At what rate is the revenue currently changing with respect to this price? (Hint: use the chain rule). (Include units). (c). Suppose the demand is currently increasing at a rate of 50 copies per month. How fast is the price currently changing per month? (again, assume the price is currently $40).Include units.
