% increase in price = 0.4/2.95 x 100 = 13.56%
Therefore,
Quantity demanded would fall by = 1.5% x 13.56%/10% = 2.034%
Expected quantity demanded = 344 x (1 - 2.034%) = 337 mn gallons

At the beginning of this year, daily consumption of gasoline in the US amounted to 344 million gallons. It is estimated that for every 10% increase in the price of gasoline, quantity demanded falls by 1.60 %. By the end of this year, the price of gasoline is expected to increase by 40 cents from $3.10 per gallon. Based on this information, what is the expected quantity demanded (QD) for gasoline at the end of this year? Please specify your...

The supermarket GoodFood orders fresh milk daily directly from Farmer Brigg. The daily demand for milk at the supermarket is normally distributed with an expected demand of 100 gallons and a standard deviation of 20 gallons. GoodFood pays $0.70 per gallon and sells the gallon for $1.00. If GoodFood has milk left over at the end of the day, he cannot keep it and sell it the next day, because it will be sour. However, Farmer Brigg can feed the...

The Charvon oil company is planning to make a large investment in coal-to-liquids (CTL) gasoline. The end product will be a perfect substitute for gasoline made from petroleum, but the feedstock will be coal instead of oil. Two technologies are available to the Charvon company. The first is called indirect CTL, where the coal is gasified prior to being liquefied. The second is called direct CTL, where the coal is dissolved in a solvent, and the resulting liquid is processed...
