The demand x is the number of items that can be sold at a price of $p. For x = p" - 3p° + 1500, find the rate of change of p with respect to x by differentiating implicitly. The rate of change of the price p with respect to the demand x is
The demand equation for a particular candy bar is px + x + 20p = 3000 where 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 cents each week, find the rate of change in the demand.
An analyst for a major apparel company estimates that the demand for its raincoats is given by ln Qdx = 10 − 1.2 ln Px + 3 ln R − 2 ln Ay where R denotes the daily amount of rainfall and Ay represents the level of advertising on good Y. What would be the impact on demand of a 10 percent increase in the daily amount of rainfall? What would be the impact of a 10 percent reduction in the amount of advertising directed toward good Y? Can you think of a good that might be good Y in this example?

Suppose the makers of PEZ candies have decided to test market a new dispenser with red, white, and blue candies. The PREZ dispenser (as it will be called in 2024) bearing the likeness of each political party's presidential candy-date is estimated to have a market demand given by: 5Q = 3000 - 200p where p is expressed in dollars per dispenser and Q is expressed in thousands of dispensers sold per week. a. If p= $6 per PREZ dispenser, how many PREZ dispensers will be sold that week? Less than a thousand? b. If p = $6 per PREZ dispenser, what will be the price elasticity of demand? PLEZ show your work. c. If the objective is to maximize revenue, how much would you recommend the company charge per PREZ dispenser?
An economist estimates that a market has a demand curve of the form P = 26 - (0.867) Q and a supply curve of the form P = 0.5 + (1.21) Q. (See the curves graphed in the figure below.) Accordingly, she estimates that the equilibrium price ( P e) in the market will be $15.36 (or $15.355561). This means that the amount of the product bought and sold in the market must be ____.
The estimated monthly sales of Mona Lisa paint-by-number sets is given by the formula q = 97e° -3p²/2, where q is the demand in monthly sales and p is the retail price in hundreds of yen.
