A restaurant has a steady annual demand for 885 bottles of California wine. It costs $3 to store 1 bottle for 1 year, and it costs $7 to place a reorder. Find the optimum number of bottles per order. The optimum number of bottles per order is. (Type a whole number.)
The demand function for a certain product is determined by the fact that the product of the price and the quantity demanded equals 8000. The product currently sells for $2.20 per unit. Suppose manufacturing costs are increasing over time at a rate of 18% and the company plans to increase the price p at this rate as well. Find the rate of change of demand over time. Find the demand function represented in this problem where p is the price of the product and q is the quantity demanded for the product. (Type an equation.)
Since the supply curve intersects the horizontal axis, all of the points along the supply curve shown are inelastic: True or false and Explain your choice Most likely, the elasticity of demand for transportation is greater than the elasticity of demand for cars. Revenue remains unchanged along a straight-line demand curve.
Worldwide annual sales of smart phones in over a five-year period were projected to be approximately q=-10p+4440 million phones at a selling price of $P per phone. Obtain a formula for the price of elasticity of demand E. In one particular year the actual selling price was $271 per phone. What was the corresponding price elasticity of demand? Use your formula for E to determine the selling price that would’ve resulted in the largest annual revenue. What, nearest to the nearest 10 million, would have been the resulting annual revenue?

QUESTION 4 In preparation for the new season, a local junior soccer club attempts to predict the number of children that will register to play soccer at different prices. The club believes that at a price of $162.83 per child, 90 children will register to play soccer. Additionally, at a price of $88.04 per child, it is believed that 130 children will register to play soccer. It cannot be assumed that the demand curve is linear. Calculate the midpoint price elasticity of demand for soccer registrations. Round your answer to the nearest two decimal places, giving a positive value for elasticity.
