State clearly the appropriate model to use and show all your work for finding the function. (Q2 b) Assuming that the price (per tpnne) is a linear function of the quantity (in q f(q). State clearly the appropriate kilotonnes) demanded, determine the demand function p = model to use and show all your work for finding the function. ( Q2 c) Find the equilibrium point and the market clearing price. Show all your work. (Q2 d) Sketch the supply and demand functions on the same graph clearly indicating the equilibrium value and the market clearing price.

US Auto Company would like to offer rebates to its customers in order to increase sales. If it lowers prices sales will increase. This will depend on the price elasticity of demand. Assume that the price elasticity of demand is 1.5. This firm is considering a $400 rebate on its cars. Also assume the following information on prices and costs before the rebates: Average price per car $9,000 per car Expected sales volume at $9,000) per car 1,000,000 cars Average total costs per car $8,200 per car Total variable cost $6,400,000,000 Calculate the present total fixed costs, average variable costs and average fixed costs. What is the present breakeven point? What is the change in revenue resulting from the $400 price reduction? What is the effect on the cost per car after the change?

= 2. The cost of operating a jet-powered commercial (passenger- carrying) airplane varies as the three-halves (3/2) power of its velocity; specifically, Co kny3/2, where n is the trip length in miles, k is a constant of proportionality, and vis velocity in miles per hour. It is known that at 400 miles per hour, the average cost of operation is $300 per mile. The company that owns the aircraft wants to minimize the cost of operation, but that cost must be balanced against the cost of the passengers' time (CC), which has been set at $300,000 per hour. At what velocity should the trip be planned to minimize the total cost, which is the sum of the cost of operating the airplane and the cost of passengers' time?
