It's the year 2023 and you are the manager at a local brew pub here in Fayetteville. You are one of many local breweries in town; therefore, your
customers have many options of where to spend their beer money. You want to increase revenue and decide to raise the price of a pint of your craft beer.
The table below shows the sales of beer from week 1 and sales in week 2 after you raised price.
Table 1. Sales Data for Weeks 1 and 2
Week
Week 1
Week 2
Price ($ per pint)
$6.00
$8.00
Sales (Pints)
2,500
1,100
Using the information in the above table, what was the change in total revenue from week 1 to week 2 when you changed your price? (enter your
answer without a dollar sign and indicate a decrease in revenue, if applicable, by including a negative (-) sign)
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.

The Zambian soya market is growing rapidly with some exports being recorded. Soya beans are another type of beans which provides oil and vegetable protein more than many other plants. The growth in soya beans production and processing is mainly driven by the fast-growing poultry sector. The climate in Zambia is largely favourable for soya production and the arable land is vast enough to accommodate future expansion. The growth of this market made the Soybean Market in Zambia to be ranked 20th in 2020 from previous ranking of 37th. Given that the data in the demand and supply schedules below represents the market for Soybeans in Zambia;
