The quantity demanded of Fitbit devices is 8,025 units when the price is $260. At a
unit price of $200, demand increases to 10,000 units. The manufacturer will not market any
of the device at a price of $100 or less. However for each $50 increase in price above $100,
the manufacturer will market an additional 1,000 units. Assume that both the supply equation
and the demand equation are linear.
a) Find the supply equation.
b) Find the demand equation.
c) Find the equilibrium quantity.
d) Find the equilibrium price.
Suppose the demand for bicycles is given byQp = 10,000P- and the supply of bicycles is
given by Qs = 0.01P3.
(a) Using calculus and the given supply and demand curves, find mathematical expressions
for the elasticities of demand and supply as a function of the price. Use these expressions
to demonstrate that both curves have constant elasticity along their entire length.
(b) Find the equilibrium price and quantity in this market mathematically.
A particular commodity has a price-demand equation given by p = √18,444 - 417x, where x is the amount in pounds of the commodity demanded when the price is p dollars per pound.
