The demand equation for a particular candy bar is px + x + 20p = 3000 where 1000x candy bars are demanded per week when p cents is the price per bar. If the current price of the candy is 49 cents per bar and the price per bar is increasing at the rate of 0.2 cent each week, find the rate of change in the demand.

20. The general linear demand for good X is estimated to beQ = 1 8 , 0 0 0 − 1 7 5 P + 0 . 3 5 M − 1 6 PR where P is the price of good X, M is average income of consumers who buy good X, and PR is the price of related good R. The values of P, M, and P R are expected to be $65, $52,000, and $100, respectively. Use these values at this point on demand to make the following computations. a. Calculate the price elasticity of demand E for the given values of P, M, and PR. How would increasing the price of X affect total revenue? Explain. b. Calculate the income elasticity of demand EM. Is good X normal or inferior? Explain how a 1.75 percent decrease in income would affect demand for X? c. Calculate the cross-price elasticity EXR. Are the goods X and R substitutes or comple- ments? Explain how a 2.5 percent increase in the price of related good R would affect demand for X?
Given the demand equation, Q = 120000 -10P2 for this equation, write the expression for the point price elasticity of demand as a function of P Over what range of the prices is the demand inelastic?
An analyst for a major apparel company estimates that the demand for its raincoats is given by ln Qdx = 10 − 1.2 ln Px + 3 ln R − 2 ln Ay where R denotes the daily amount of rainfall and Ay represents the level of advertising on good Y. What would be the impact on demand of a 10 percent increase in the daily amount of rainfall? What would be the impact of a 10 percent reduction in the amount of advertising directed toward good Y? Can you think of a good that might be good Y in this example?

The demand function for apples is the following. Qn = 10 – Pn + 0.2Y +0.5 Pc – 2Ps + 0.2A Where: Qn = annual sales of apples (millions of kilos) Pn = price of apples (£1 per kilo) Y = disposable income in the UK £trillions (£10 trillions) Pc = price of a pies £ per kilo (£2 per kilo) Ps = price of pear (£2 per kilo) A = advertising measured in hundreds of thousands of £5 (use as 5 in your calculations) What is the demanded quantity for apple now, based on this equation? a. 3 million kilos b. 6 million kilos c. 9 million kilos d. 12 million kilos e. All the other answers are wrong.
