What is the market size (units) per quarter for those living in multi-unit residential areas?Redleaf company's market research department works on the manufacture and marketing of a winter tire for vehicles. Currently the price is 10$, and the demand is 13000 units. When the price is increased to 15$, the company expects the demand to be 8500 units (assume that price is linearly related to demand.). Company is following a make-to-order policy for their production, meaning that they make production as much as ordered from their dealers. The dealers make orders 3 times a year, on January, May and September. The company has 23 dealers, who do not have any capacity restriction on their orders. Yet, the above information is a country-wise research, and shows the aggregate demand (sum of all dealers' orders) for each price. Regardless of the production amount, the company faces with a 2170$ of administrative cost for production, in addition to 1,3 $ cost of raw materials and labour costs per each units produced. If we define price as a function of demand (P(d)) using the…The demand function for a manufacturer's product is D = 91 - 9p , where D is the number of units and 'p' is the price per unit. The value of D that will achieve maximum revenue is _____ units.
