A manufacturer has been selling 1100 QLED televisions a week at $540 each. A market survey indicates that for each $32 discount offered to a buyer, the total number sold will increase by 320 TVs per week. We will define the variable a to represent the number of $32 discounts that are offered. We will allow a to be any real number, including decimal values. (a) Find the function p(a) which gives the price of a television in dollars, where a is the number of discounts. p(a)= (b) Find the function q(a) which gives the quantity of televisions sold (the weekly demand), where a is the number of discounts. q(a)= (c) Find the total revenue function R(a) which gives the weekly revenue in dollars, where a is the number of discounts. R(a) =

- A manufacturer of a new patented product has found that he can sell 70 units a week to the customer if the price is $48. In error, the price was recently advertised at $78 and as a result, only 40 units were sold in a week. The manufacturers fixed costs of production are $1,710 a week and variable costs are $9 per unit. You are required to: d. Assuming a sudden change in trading conditions resulting in a 20% reduction in demand at all price levels, to find the equation of the new demand function and to recommend how the manufacturer should respond.Q2 The manufacturer of a low-sugar bottled juice estimated the following demand equation for its product using data from 25 retail stores around Dover city for the month of November: Q=-2000-15 Pje+ 8.4Px + 0.51 + 0.4A (220) (5.0) (5.6) (0.2) (0.16) R²=0.57 n=25 F = 6.83 Assume the following values for the independent variables: Standard error 1 Q denotes quantity sold per month Pje (denotes price of the bottled juice) = 240 (in cents) P.

Write the resulting regression equation.The profit,P,of a company that manufactures and sells N units of a certain product is modeled by the function P(N)=R(N)-C(N) The revenue function,R(N)=S·N, is the selling price S per unit times the number N of units sold. The company's cost,C(N)= Co +Cop(N), is a sum of two terms. The first is a constant Co describing the initial investment needed to set up production. The other term, Cop(N), varies depending on how many units the company produces, and represents the operating costs. Companies care not only about profit, but also marginal profit, the rate of change of profit with respect to N. Assume that S=$50,Co=$75,000, Cop(N)=$50✓N,and that the company currently sells N= 100 units. Compute the marginal profit at this rate of production.Round your answer to one decimal place.
- using the graphical solution procedure, Compute the range of optimality for the objective function coefficients.A company estimated that the relationship between the unit price and demand per month for a potential new product is approximated by P = $ 100 – $ 0.1D. The company can produce the product by increasing fixed costs $ 17,500 per month, and the estimated variable costs is $ 40 per unit. What is the optimal demand, D*, and based on this demand, should the company produce new product? Why? a) Work out the complete solution by differential calculus, starting with formula for profit or loss per month b) Solve graphically for an approximate answerPlease solve questions 15, 16 and 17.

Each of the drivers must decide whether to come to place S via point G or via point D (see the directed graph below). The travel time on segments G-S and K-D is not dependent on the number of drivers: each driver traverses the G-S segment in 60 minutes, and the K-D segment in 45 minutes, regardless of the number of drivers. However, the travel time on segments K-G and D-S depends on the number of drivers: if x drivers travel on the K-G segment, each driver on this segment consumes 0.005x minutes; if x drivers travel on the D-S segment, each driver on this segment consumes 0.01x minutes (see the directed graph below). Assume that all people start simultaneously and do not know the decisions of other people. Find all pure Nash equilibria of the game.
