Suppose the demand function for a product is given by the function: D(q) = -0.018q+50.4 Find the Consumer's Surplus corresponding to q = 1,550 units. (Do no rounding of results until the very end of your calculations. At that point, round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. It may help you to sketch the demand curve, which crosses the horizontal at q = 2,800.) dollars Answer:
The demand curve for a product is given by; Qxd = 1,200 - 3Px - 0.1Pz , where Pz = K300. a) What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = K140? b) Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? c) What would happen to the firm’s revenue if it decided to charge a price below K140?
Suppose that the price per unit p as a function of the demanda is p = 478.8 -0.9x. (a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when x = 132. n = -2.44, therefore the demand is elastic (b) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when x = 425. n = -0.202 therefore the demand is inelastic (c) Find the demand that gives unit elasticity. x = 266.0 ✓
i. ii. iii. Suppose the demand function for a product is given by (3000-9 where p is in hundreds of RM and q is the number of tons. Determine the point elasticity of demand when the quantity demanded is 6 tons. is demand elastic, is it inelastic, or does it have unit elasticity at this point? Approximate the percentage change in price if the demand of 6 tons is decreased by 3%.
A microchip company is looking at new product lines and is reviewing the findings of its marketing team. The second product, a semiconductor microchip, has the elasticity of demand function: E(p)=√p^2-6p+5. If they set the price at $5.35 will the demand be elastic or inelastic? To increase the revenue should they raise the price or lower it?
Consider the following demand function: 500 p(q) : (q + 290)? (a) Find the point elasticity n(g) as a function of q. The point elasticity function n(q): (b) Find the point elasticity at q = 520. Note: Point elasticity is typically a negative quantity. (c) Determine whether the demand is elastic, or inelastic, or has unit elasticity at q = 520. The demand is ? at q = 520.
The demand function for a certain make of ink-jet cartridge is the following where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. p= -0.02x² -0.2x+6 Compute the elasticity of demand when x = 11. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 0.22 Determine whether the demand is inelastic, unitary, or elastic when x = 11. elastic inelastic O unitary

Currently, 10,000 people take city buses each day and pay 2 dollars for a ticket. The number of people taking city buses at price p dollars per ticket is given X = 5000 6-p (a) Evaluate the elasticity at 5. E(5) (b) Currently, the price per ticket is 2 dollars. Should the price be raised in order to increase revenue? Enter 1 for Yes or 2 for No. answer = (c) For what value of p, the demand is unitary.p = = (d) What is the maximum revenue? Revenue =
