Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 41RE
Demand and Profit To generate a profit from its new o’Tunes service, OHaganBooks.com needs to know how the demand for music albums depends on the price it charges. During the first week of the service, it was charging $7 per album and sold 500. Raising the price to $9.50 had the effect of lowering demand to 300 albums per week.
a. Use the given data to construct a linear demand equation.
b. Use the demand equation you constructed in part (a) to estimate the demand if the price were raised to $12 per album.
c. Using the information on cost given in Exercise 39, determine which of the three prices ($7, $9 .50, and $12) would result in the largest weekly profit, and the size of that profit.

Survey your classmates to determine what price they would be willing to pay for a candy bar. Your survey form might look like the sample to the left. a Make a table of the number of respondents who answered yes at each price level. b Make a scatter plot of your data. c Find and graph the regression line y=mp+b, which gives the number of respondents y who would buy a candy bar if the price were p cents. This is the demand equation. Why is the slope m negative? d What is the p-intercept of the demand equation? What does this intercept tell you about pricing candy bars?
