The price elasticity of demand for personal computers is estimated to be 2.2. If the price of personal computers declines by 20 percent, what will be the expected percentage increase in the quantity of computers sold?
(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
What does a price elasticity of demand of 0.39 mean?
Producers of a certain brand of refrigerator will make 1600 refrigerators available when the unit price is $320. Ata unit price of $370, 5600 refrigerators will be marketed. Find the equation relating the unit price p of a refrigerator to the quantity supplied x if the equation is known to be linear How many refrigerators will be marketed when the unit price is s4207 refrigerators What is the lowest price at which a refrigerator will be marketed?
The demand equation for a particular candy bar is px + x + 20p = 3000where 1000x candy bars are demanded per week when p cents is the price per bar. If the current price of the candy is 49 cents per bar and the price per bar is increasing at the rate of 0.2 cent each week, find the rate of change in the demand.

When sold for $790.00, a certain desktop has an annual supply of 129.5 million computers and an annual demand of 155.5 million computers. When the price increases to $865.00, the annual supply increases to 147.5 million computers, and the demand drops to 134.5 million computers. NOTE: Round slope and vertical intercept to 4 decimal places and use those rounded values to the end. (a) Assuming that the supply and demand equations are linear, find the supply and demand equations. Supply Equation p = Demand Equation p = esc (Note: The equations should be in the form p = mq + b where p denotes the price (in dollars) and q denotes the quantity (in billions). The slope and y-intercept should be accurate to 4 decimal places). (b) Find the Equilibrium price and quantity. Equilibrium price p = Equilibrium quantity q = 9- F2 A (Note: The equilibrium price should be accurate to 2 decimal places and quantity should be rounded to the nearest whole number, and the equilibrium price should include a…
A TV channel has estimated the demand for its service to be givenby the following function: Q=9.83p-1.2A2.5Y1.6P0-1.4whereQ = monthly sales in unitsP = price of the service in $A = promotional expenditure in $’000Y = average income of the market in $’000P0 = price of ‘home movies’ in $ The current price of the TV channel is $60, promotional expenditure is$120,000, average income is $28,000, and the price of ‘homemovies’ is$45.Indicate whether the following statements are true or false, givingyour reasons and making the necessary corrections h. Current sales are over a million units a month. i. The demand curve for the channel is given by:Q=9.83p-1.2j. The channel’s sales are more affected by the price of ‘home movies’ than by the price of its own service.k. If the channel increases its price this will reduce its profit.
