Suppose there are two types of e-book consumers: 50 "standard" consumers with demand Q=25-P and 100 "rule of thumb" consumers who buy 10 e-books only if the price is less than $10. (Their demand curve is given by Q=10 if P<10 and Q=0 if P≥10.) Using the multi-point drawing tool, graph the resulting total demand curve for e-books. Label this line "Demand."

You are advising Roy on the opening of his Original-Original Famous Pizzeria. By plotting the points below on a coordinate plane, you can show Roy the price points that would lead to a shortage of slices, a surplus of slices, and the point of maximum efficiency per slice. On the graph paper below: label your vertical axis with prices and your horizontal axis with quantity, plot each point of the demand and draw the curve with one color. plot each point of supply and draw the curve with a different color, identify the equilibrium point on your graph
Using the demand function, Q = 8.56 − p − 0.3ps + 0.1Y, and the supply function, Q = 9.6 + 0.5p − 0.2pc, for coffee, determine the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee if Y = $55, 000, ps = 0.20, and pc = $5. Draw the demand and supply curves and illustrate this equilibrium in a diagram in Excel.
Please Suppose there are 3 buyers in a market who have the following demand equations: D1(p) = 22 – 2p D2(p) = 16 – p D3(p) = 41 – 3p a) What is market demand equal to at a price of 14? b) What is market demand equal to at a price of 16? c) Draw side-by-side graphs of the inverse demand functions for each of the three consumers and the market as a whole.
Suppose a firm sells two goods, Good A and Good B. Use the following information to answer questions that follow: Profit maximising price of Good A = R6000 MC at profit maximising level of output of Good A = R1200 MC at profit maximising level of output of Good B = R400 Total revenue of Good A = R80000 Total revenue of Good B = R68000 Rothschild index of Good B = 0.6 Price elasticity of the market demand for Good B = -1.2 2.1. Calculate the price elasticity of demand (Ed) for Good A. Ed of Good A = 2.2 Suppose that the firm noticed that when it increased the price of Good A from R4000 to R6000, the sales of Good B decreased from 8000 to 2000 units. Calculate and classify the cross-price elasticity of demand between Good A and Good B. Ec = Good A and Good B are classified as (substitutes/compliments) 2.3. Use the elasticity coefficient calculated above and the information provided, to calculate by how much the firm’s total combined revenue will change if it decreases the price…
