(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?
The demand function for a product is p= 45 5-9/10) where q is the number of units and p is the price of one unit. At what price will the demand be 5 units? How many units will be demanded if the price is $12.42?
Revenue The Better Baby Buggy Co. has just come out with a new model, the Turbo. The market research department predicts that the demand equation for Turbos is given by q = -3p + 402, where q is the number of buggies the company can sell in a month if the price is $p per buggy. At what price (in dollars) should it sell the buggies to get the largest revenue? p = $ What is the largest monthly revenue (in dollars)? $4
Revenue The Better Baby Buggy Co. has just come out with a new model, the Turbo. The market research department predicts that the demand equation for Turbos is given by q = -3p + 312, where 9 is the number of buggies the company can sell in a month if the price is $p per buggy. At what price (in dollars) should it sell the buggies to get the largest revenue? p = $ What is the largest monthly revenue (in dollars)? $
Suppose the demand function for a product is given by pq+p=5000 where p is price in dollars and q is the number of units sold. If the price is $50 and increasing by $2 per week, how is the quantity sold changing?
The demand function for a manufacturer's product is p= f(q) = – 0.16q + 432, where p is the price (in dollars) per unit when q units are demanded (per day). Find the level of production that maximizes the manufacturer's total revenue and determine this revenue. What quantity will maximize the revenue? q = units
The demand function for a certain product is given by p = 500 + 1000/q+1 where p is the price and q is the number of units demanded. Find the average price as demand ranges from 46 to 96 units. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
