1) The relationship d = 5000 - 25p describes what happens to demand (d) as price (p) varies. Here, price can vary between $10 and $50.
a) How many units can be sold at the $10 price? How many can be sold at the $50 price?
b) Model the expression for total revenue.
c) Consider prices of $20, $30, and $40. Which price alternative will maximize total revenue? What are the values for demand and revenue at this price?

a. At $10 demand will be 5000 - (25*10) = 5000 - 250 = 4750 units
At $50 demand will be = 5000-(25*50) = 5000 - 1250 = 3750 units
b. Total revenue = total demand (quantity in units)*price (in $)
d = 5000-25p and price = p. Thus total revenue = (5000-25p)*p
= 5000p-25p^2
c. Total revenue and demands at different price points:
$20: demand = 5000-(25*20) = 5000-500 = 4500
revenue = 5000*20 - (25*20*20) = 90,000
$30: demand = 5000-(25*30) = 4250
revenue = 5000*30 - (25*30*30) = 127500
$40: demand = 5000-(25*40) = 4000
revenue = 5000*40 - (25*40*40) = 160000
Thus total revenue is maximized at $40 and the amount of revenue is $160,000
The demand at this price = 4,000 units and revenue = $160,000

Relationship between Price Elasticity of Demand and Total Revenues Suppose that over a range of prices, the price elasticity of demand varies from 10 to 1.1. Over another range of prices, the price elasticity of demand varies from 0.90 to 0.50. What can you say about total revenues and the total revenue curve over these two ranges of the demand curve as price falls? (See pages 421 – 423 including Figure 19-2 and Table 19-1)
Suppose that a company wants to choose a price for their product that will maximize the total revenue. From market research, they assume that the price of the product (p) and the quantity sold (x) will obey the linear relationship p=100-1/2x (A) What happens if the company sets the price at $10 per unit? How many units will be sold? (B) What happens if the company sets the price at $10 per unit? What will the total revenue be? (C)...

Help with these questions please, 1.Which statement most accurately describes what happens when both supply and demand curves shift? Use letters in alphabetical order to select options A When both curves shift, typically we can determine the overall effect on price or on quantity, but not on both. B When both curves shift, typically we can determine the overall effect on price but not on quantity. C When both curves shift, typically we can determine the overall effect on price...
Suppose at the current price, the demand for copper is estimated at -3.14. What happens to sales revenue if the government imposes a price ceiling below the free market equilibrium price in the copper market? Sales revenue remains unchanged because copper is a necessity for most industries. It cannot be determined without information on prices. Sales revenue rises. Sales revenue falls.

Explain the relationship between the price elasticity of demand and total revenue. What are the impacts of various forms of elasticities (elastic, inelastic, unit elastic, etc.) on business decisions and strategies to maximize profit? Explain your responses using empirical examples, formulas, and graphs. Is the price elasticity of demand or supply more elastic over a shorter or a longer period of time? Why? Give examples.
