For a certain commodity the demand equation is given by Demand = −30p + 1000. At a price of $5, 600 units of this commodity are supplied. (a) If the supply equation is linear and the market price is $10, find the supply equation. (b)If the price of this commodity increases by $3 per unit, what effect will this have on the supply and demand of the commodity?

State the processes performed when demand is predicted to be greater than supply.
A firm has an annual demand of S units for a good whose purchase cost is £c per unit. Each order costs £a to place, and the cost of holding stock is b% of the average value of stock per annum. Determine the optimal order quantity. A local firm uses 2000 units of a particular component each year. The component has a purchase price of £4/unit, while the cost of holding stock is estimated at 20% of the average stock value. If the cost of placing each order is £12.50, find the optimal number of orders placed each year. Suppose the component supplier offers a discount of 2% on the purchase price if orders are placed in units of 1000. Is the discount worth accepting? Suppose that instead of a single figure you had been given a probability distribution for the number of units used each year. Indicate the effect on stock policy.. Please explain fully , the last part is also important to solve.
Worldwide quarterly sales of a brand of cell phones were approximately q = −p + 156 million phones when the wholesale price was $p. (a) If the cellphone company was prepared to supply q = 4p − 384 million phones per quarter at a wholesale price of $p, what would have been the equilibrium price? $ (b) The actual wholesale price was $103 in the fourth quarter of 2004. Estimate the projected shortage or surplus at that price. There is an estimated ______ of million phones.

There is no demand for a certain make of one-time use camera when the unit price is $ 12. However, when the unit price is $ 8, the quantity demanded is 8000/week. The supplier will not market any cameras if the unit price is $ 2 or lower. At $ 4/camera, however, the manufacturer will make available 5000 cameras/week. Given that both the supply and demand equations are linear: Determine the associated linear demand function Determine the linear supply function. At what price should the camera be sold so that there is neither a surplus nor a shortage?
