Subpart (a):
Explanation of Solution
When the price is $8, the total quantity demanded can be calculated as follows:
Thus, the value of the total quantity demanded when the price $8 is 4 units.
When the price is $7, ‘R’ individual quantity demanded can be calculated as follows:
Thus, the value of ‘R’ individual quantity demanded is 2 units.
When the price is $6, ‘T’ individual quantity demanded can be calculated as follows:
Thus, the value of ‘T’ individual quantity demanded is 12.
When the price is $5, ‘D’ individual quantity demanded can be calculated as follows:
Thus, the value of ‘D’ individual quantity demanded is 4.
When the price is $4, the total quantity demanded can be calculated as follows:
Thus, the value of the total quantity demanded is 36.
