On the following graph, use the green point (triangle symbol) to plot the annual total revenue when the market price is $40, $60, $80, $100, $120, $140, and $160 per bike. 6250 5820 Total Revenue 5390 4960 4530 4100 3670 3240 2810 2380 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 240 PRICE (Dollars per bike) According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately Suppose the price of bikes is currently $80 per bike, shown as point A on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is , a $20-per-bike decrease in price will lead to in total revenue per day. In general, in order for a price increase to cause an increase in total revenue, demand must be TOTAL REVENUE (Dollars)
The chart below shows how annual electricity for an average Ontario household would vary with the price paid for electricity. Calculate the arc elasticity of demand for electricity for this average houschold. Also, in the final column, calculate the total revenue from sales of clectricity to this household.

When sold for $790.00, a certain desktop has an annual supply of 129.5 million computers and an annual demand of 155.5 million computers. When the price increases to $865.00, the annual supply increases to 147.5 million computers, and the demand drops to 134.5 million computers. NOTE: Round slope and vertical intercept to 4 decimal places and use those rounded values to the end. (a) Assuming that the supply and demand equations are linear, find the supply and demand equations. Supply Equation p = Demand Equation p = esc (Note: The equations should be in the form p = mq + b where p denotes the price (in dollars) and q denotes the quantity (in billions). The slope and y-intercept should be accurate to 4 decimal places). (b) Find the Equilibrium price and quantity. Equilibrium price p = Equilibrium quantity q = 9- F2 A (Note: The equilibrium price should be accurate to 2 decimal places and quantity should be rounded to the nearest whole number, and the equilibrium price should include a…
