You can sell 120 pet chias per week if they are marked at $1 each, but only 60 each week if they are marked at $2/chia. Your chia supplier is prepared to sell you 10 chias each week if they are marked at $1/chia, and 50 each week if they are marked at $2 per chia. (a) Write down the associated linear demand and supply functions. demand function q(p)=-60p + 180 q(p) = 40p - 30 supply function (b) At what price should the chias be marked so that there is neither a surplus nor a shortage of chias?

If the demand function for a company is given by the equation p= -(16+4)q+(16+16000), and the supply is given by the equation q=(16+550)-p. Find the equilibrium point.
A manufacturer of automobiles is planning a new model and wants to determine the responsiveness of demand in a number of scenarios. The demand function for the new model is given by the following function: Q = 30000 – 3P + 2000ln(PA) + Y Where Q is the quantity sold of the new model, P is the price for the new model, PA is the price of the competitor’s model and Y is the annual income of a typical purchaser. The new model price is planned to be £20,000 and the competitor is charging £25,000. The annual income of a typical purchaser is £30,000. (a) The manufacturer wishes to determine the responsiveness of the demand for the new model if the price of a competitor’s model changes. Which measure of elasticity would be appropriate to fulfil this requirement? And provide a calculation of its value.
You and your friends love to go fishing. There is a sporting goods store in your neighborhood that sells a fishing pole for $82 but costs the store $60, and a fully stocked tackle box that sells for $58 but costs $40. Assuming the mark-up policy is linear, determine the equation that relates price (P) to cost (C). Following this same mark-up policy for other items, what would be the price of a pair of waders which cost the company $80?

k : ces As the manager of Smith Construction, you need to make a decision on the number of homes to build in a new residential area where you are the only builder. Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 50 percent chance of low demand and a 50 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P= 300,000-400Q and P= 500,000 -225Q, respectively. Your cost function is CQ) = 165,000+ 243,750Q.
