The general linear demand for good X is estimated to be Q=250000-500P-1.5M-240PR Where P is the price of good Q, M is average income of consumers who buy good Q, and PR is the price of related good R. The values of P, M, and PR are expected to be $200, $60,000, and $100, respectively. Use these values at this point on demand to make the following computations. A. Compute the quantity of good Q demanded for the given values...
A firm with market power faces the following estimated demand and average variable cost functions: Qd = 39,000 - 500P + 0.4M - 8,000PR AVC = 30 - 0.005Q + 0.0000005Q2 where Qd is quantity demanded, P is price, M is income, and PR is the price of a related good. The firm expects income to be $40,000 and PR to be $2. Total fixed cost is $100,000. What is the estimated demand function for the firm? Qd = 40,000...

4. Suppose the annual demand function for the Honda Accord is QD - 430-01PA+01Pc-10Pa where PA and Pc are the prices of Accords and Camrys and Po is the price of gas. Assume this that year the price of an Accord and the price of a Camry are both $20,000 and the price of gas is $3 per gallon. You are to use the point formula for calculating the following elasticities. Given the prices of Accords, Camrys and gas, what...
The demand function of canned soda is linear Q=2000-500p, where Q is quantity in cans and p is price/can in dollars. 1) when p=1.5, what is the elasticity of demand? 2) what is the price at which the demand for soda has unitary elasticity? 3) suppose after the anti-sugar campaign, the demand function of soda becomes Q=2500-500p^2. at the price, you identified in (b), what is the elasticity of demand now given the new demand function? is it elastic or...
