No written by hand solution Suppose that the market for video games is competitive with demand function Qd = 170 – 4p + 2Y + 3pm – 2pc, where Qd is the quantity demanded, p is the market price, Y is the monthly budget that an average consumer has available for entertainment, pm is the average price of a movie, and pc is the price of a controller that is required to play these games. Given that Y = $100, pm = $30 and pc = $30, use Excel to calculate quantity demanded for p = $10 to p = $80 in $5 increments. Using Excel’s spreadsheet Find Qd = ________ when P=$30. Find Qd = ________ when P=$45. Now, Y increases to $120. Re-calculate the demand schedule and find Qd = ________ when P=$20. Let Y = $100 again, but pm increases to $40. Re-calculate the demand schedule and find Qd = ________ when P=$25. Let Y = $100, pm = $30, and pc increases to $40. Re-calculate the demand schedule and find Qd = ________ when P=$50.
The demand equation for a particular candy bar is px + x + 20p = 3000 where 1000x candy bars are demanded per week when p dollars is the price per bar. If the current price of the candy is 49 dollars per bar and the price per bar is increasing at the rate of 0.2 dollars each week, find the rate of change in the demand.
The market research department of the Better Baby Buggy Co. predicts that the demand equation for its buggies is given by q = −2.5p + 500 where q is the number of buggies it can sell in a month if the price is $p per buggy.

A toy company is trying to determine the optimal price for their weekly supply to meet the demand for a toy they are about to release. They estimate that the supply function follows p= 0.006q^2 + 0.14q+ 8.62 and the demand function follows p= -1.25q+ 65 , where p is the price of the toy (in dollars) and q is the weekly quantity of the toy (in hundreds). If the company tries to sell the toy for $24, will there be a shortage or surplus of toys each week?
Hasbro conducted market research to determine the optimal price to set for their Furby toys. Through many focus groups, they determined they could sell 5,000 furbies at a price of $29.99. However, if they lowered their price to $19.99, they could sell 4,000 more furbies. Find the linear demand equation (price function, y) as a function of the quantity, x, sold.
