- 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.

- Question #2 Consider the following demand function for frozen dinners where QD is the quantity of frozen dinners demanded per week, P is the price per frozen dinner, PF is the price per fast food meal, Y is the average yearly consumer income, and A is the number of advertisements for frozen dinners. Demand Function for Frozen Dinners: QD = 1,000 – 10P + 20PF – 0.01Y + A Suppose that a frozen dinner sells for $4, a fast food meal sells for $6, average yearly consumer income is $50,000, and that there are 20 advertisements for frozen dinners. Calculate and interpret the income elasticity of demand. Calculate and interpret the cross-price elasticity of demand with respect to fast food meals.arrow_forwardThe coconut oil demand function (Buschena and Perloff, 1991) is Q= 1,200 - 9.5p + 16.2p, + 0.002Y, where Q is the quantity of coconut oil demanded in thousands of metric tons per year, p is the price of coconut oil in cents per pound, p., is the price of palm oil in cents per pound, and Y is the income of consumers.

- Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. The demand for airline travel is quite sensitive to price. Typically, there is an inverse relationship to between demand and price; when price decreases, demand increases and vice versa. One major airline has found that when the price (p) for a round trip between Chicago and Los Angeles is $600, the demand (D) is 500 passengers per day. When the price is reduced to $400, demand is 1,200 passengers per day. Use a data table to estimate the price that maximizes total revenue.arrow_forwardThe demand functions for a pineapple is given by p=-0.10x+15. a.) find the revenue function b.) how many pineapples will you sell when you are maximizing revenue? c.) what price gives the maximum revenue and what is the maximum revenue?arrow_forwardQ. Wilpen Company, a price-setting firm, produces nearly 80 percent of all tennis balls purchased in the United States. Wilpen estimates the U.S. demand for its tennis balls by using the following linear specification: Q = a + bP + cM + dPR. Where Q is the number of cans of tennis balls sold quarterly, P is the wholesale price Wilpen charges for a can of tennis balls, M is the consumers’ average household income, and PR is the average price of tennis rackets. The regression results are as follows: a- Discuss the statistical significance of the parameter estimates a^, b^, c^, and d^ using the p-values. Are the signs of b^, c^, and d^ consistent with the theory of demand? Wilpen plans to charge a wholesale price of $1.65 per can. The average price of a tennis racket is $110, and consumers’ average household income is $24,600. b.
