The demand equation for a particular candy bar is px + x + 20p = 3000where 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.
You are presented with the following data from The Home Depot (THD) on sales of its Snowminator Snow Shovel during the winters of 2012-2015, throughout Canada. The product’s price (P), measured in Canadian Dollars, is: 26, 22, 18, 14, 10, 6, and 2. The corresponding quantity demanded (Qd) in the Northern part of the nation, measured in millions of shovels, was: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21. While the corresponding quantity demanded, measured in millions of shovels, in the Southern part of the nation was: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16. Assume all the data was retrieved internally from The Home Depot. In two separate graphs that you have created using Excel, clearly and accurately graph the demand and total revenue curves for the Northern part of Canada. These will be graph # 1 and # 2, respectively. In a separate graph from part A above, clearly and accurately graph the demand curve for the Southern part of Canada. This will be graph # 3. Solely consider your graphs and data in…

Spreadsheet exercises. Suppose that the market for video games is competitive with demand function Qd = 130 − 4p + 2Y + 3pm − 2pc, where Qd is the quantity demanded, p is the market price, Y is the monthly budget that anaverage 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. Use Excel’s charting tool to draw the demand curve. Let Y = $100, pm = $30, and pc increase to $40. Recalculate the demand schedule in part 1 and use Excel to draw the new demand curve.
The demand and supply curves for composition notebooks can be described by the followingequations: Demand Qd = 100-20P, Supply Qs = 10+40P Question 1.Complete a demand schedule and a supply schedule for composition notebooks based onthe prices $0.5, $1.00, $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50
Viking InterWorks is one of many manufacturers that supplies memory products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of desktop systems. The CEO recently read van article in a trade publication that reported the projected demand for desktop systems to be Qddesktop = 1,600 −2Pdesktop + .6M (in millions of units), where Pdesktop is the price of a desktop system and M is consumer income. The same article reported that the incomes of the desktop systems’ primary consumer demographic would increase 4.2 percent this year to $61,300 and that the selling price of a desktop would decrease to $980, both of which the CEO viewed favorably for Viking. In a related article, the CEO read that the upcoming year’s projected demand for 512 MB desktop memory modules is Qdmemory = 11,200 − 100Pmemory − 2Pdesktop (in thousands of units), where Pmemory is the market price for a 512 MB memory module and Pdesktop is the selling price of a desktop system.

The demand side of the market for Sprite is comprised of 2 people. These people are William and Owen. P represents the price of 1 gallon of Sprite, and Qd represents the quantity demanded of Sprite in gallons. William's demand for Sprite is modeled by the equation QdW = 10 - 2P Owen's inverse demand for Sprite is modeled by the equation P = 10 - 2QdO (Part I) With this information, draw the market demand graph. Please label the graph for slope values, intercepts, kinks, etc. (Part II) The market supply is modeled by P = Qs. Let's say that the government places a subsidy of $8 (s = 8). As a result, what is the market equilibrium with this intervention of the government (Q**, PD**, and PS**)? (Part III) Please draw the market demand and market supply on a new graph and indicate/label the market equilibrium with the government intervention through a subsidy. Label the graph for slopes, subsidy, equilibrium points, etc.
Spreadsheet exercises. Suppose that the market for video games is competitive with demand function Qd = 130 − 4p + 2Y + 3pm − 2pc, where Qd is the quantity demanded, p is the market price, Y is the monthly budget that anaverage 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. 1. Given that Y = $100, pm = $30, and pc = $30, use Excel to calculate quantity demanded for p = $10 to p = $80 in $5 increments. Use Excel’s charting tool to draw the demand curve. 2. Now, Y increases to $120. Recalculate the demand schedule in part 1. Use Excel’s charting tool to draw the new demand curve in the same diagram. 3. Let Y = $100 and pc = $30 again, but let pm increase to $40. Recalculate the demand schedule in part 1. Use Excel’s charting tool to draw the graph of the new demandcurve. 4. Let Y = $100, pm = $30, and pc increase to $40. Recalculate the demand schedule in part 1 and use Excel to draw…
