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.
The number of retro portable CD players you are prepared to supply to a retail outlet every week is given by the formula
q = 0.2p? + 5p,
where p is the price it offers you. The retail outlet is currently offering you $90 per CD player. If the price it offers
decreases at a rate of $1 per week, how will this affect the number you supply?
The supply will --Select-- v
at a rate of
CD players per week.
