11. For most products, higher prices result in a decreased demand, whereas lower prices result in an increased demand (economists refer to such products as normal goods). Let d = annual demand for a product in units p = price per unit Assume that a firm accepts the following price-demand relationship as being a realistic representation of its market: d = 800 - 10p where p must be between $20 and $70. a. How many units can the firm sell at the $20 per-unit price? At the $70 per-unit price? b. What happens to annual units demanded for the product if the firm increases the per-unit price from $26 to $27? From $42 to $43? From $68 to $69? What is the suggested relationship between per-unit price and annual demand for the product in units? c. Show the mathematical model for the total revenue (TR), which is the annual demand multiplied by the unit price. d. Based on other considerations, the firm's management will only consider price alternatives of $30, $40, and $50. Use your model from part (b) to determine the price alternative that will maximize the total revenue. e. What are the expected annual demand and the total revenue according to your recommended price?

1 A manufacturer produces both widgets and gadgets. Widgets generate a profit of $35 each and gadgets have a profit margin of $55 each. To produce each item, a setup cost is incurred. This setup cost is $500 for widgets and $300 for gadgets. Widgets consume 2 units of raw material A and 3 units of raw material B. Gadgets consume 6 units of raw material A and 2 units of raw material B. Each day, the manufacturer has 400 units of each raw material available. Assume that it is possible to produce fractional quantities of widgets and gadgets. X 01:30:43 Set up the problem in Excel and find the optimal solution. a. The manufacturer widgets and gadgets.
