Price & Demand In economic theory, we let z represent the number of items (called demand) a supplier will produce if the price of the item is p. For a particular item, if the price is $10 per item, then the demand is 577 items. However, if the price is raised to $33 per item, then the demand decreases to 393 items. Using this information, find the demand equation as a function of the price p? r(p) =

Question 1 Suppose Ms. Zeenia demands 150 units of ice cream at price 50, if the price tends to increase to 60 she reduced her demand by 30 units while a further increase in the price by 10 rupees led to the reduction in the quantity demanded to 90 units ceteris paribus. Given the information above drive the demand function. Now suppose the price of milk has increased, illustrates graphically if there would be any change in the demand function elucidated in part a. Also, explain why or why not?

6) The quantity demanded of a certain brand of smart phone is 2000 per week when the unit price is $84. For each decrease in the unit price $5 below $84, the quantity demanded increases by 50 units. The supplier will not market any of the smartphones if the unit price is $60 or less, but the supplier will market 1800 per week if the unit price is $90.

Which of the following statements is false? To an economist, demand is different from quantity demanded. O A demand schedule is the numerical tabulation of the law of demand. A demand curve is the graphical representation of the direct relationship between price and quantity demanded.
I need help with finding equilibrium point on this question? a retailer will buy 45 radios fom a wholesaler if the price is $10 each but only 20 if the price is $60. the wholesaler will supply 35 radios at $30 each and 70 radios at $50 each. assuming the supply and demand functions are linear, find the market equilibrium point. I started with using the equation for a line and moved on to demand equation, how do I find out the supply functions? Do I plug in the supply number as (P1,Q1) and (P2,Q2) and if they come out equal is that the equilibrium point or is there something I am missing?
What effect will each of the following have on the supply of auto tires? Microeconomics chapter 3 Supply is a schedule or curve showing the amounts of a productthat producers are willing to offer in the market at each possibleprice during a specific period. The law of supply states that otherthings equal, producers will offer more of a product at a high pricethan at a low price. Thus, the relationship between price and quantity supplied is positive or direct, and supply is graphed as anupsloping curve.The market supply curve is the horizontal summation of thesupply curves of the individual producers of the product.Changes in one or more of the determinants of supply (resource prices, production techniques, taxes or subsidies, the pricesof other goods, producer expectations, or the number of sellers inthe market) shift the supply curve of a product. A shift to the rightis an increase in supply; a shift to the left is a decrease in supply. Incontrast, a change in the price of the…

Suppose that the market for video games is competitive with demand function where is the quantity demanded, is the market price, is the monthly budget that an average consumer has available for entertainment, is the average price of a movie, and is the price of a controller that is required to play these games. Given that use excel to calculate quantity demanded for to in $5 increments. Use the excel’s charting tool to draw the demand curve.
3. Determinants of demand The following graph shows the demand curve for sedans (for example, Toyota Camrys or Honda Accords) in New York City. For simplicity, assume that all sedans are identical and sell for the same price. Initially, the graph shows market demand under the following circumstances: Average household income is $50,000 per year, the price of a gallon of gas is $4.00 per gallon. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.
