Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through the questions one by one.
Question No. 4:
a) Find the equation of the function:
The question provides two price-quantity points:
- When the price , quantity demanded .
- When the price , quantity demanded .
We can use these points to find the demand function of the form:
Calculating the slope :
Now, substituting one point into the linear equation :
So, the demand function is:
b) Draw the curve:
This is a straight-line graph representing the demand function. It will intersect the quantity axis at 3000 (when ) and the price axis when .
c) What is the highest price that consumers can afford?
Set to find the highest price: The highest price is 1000.
d) If a customer purchases 300 units, what is the price?
Set in the demand function:
Question No. 10:
a) What is the lowest price that the producer can sell the product for?
For the supply function , the minimum price is when :
b) What is the quantity demanded if the price of the product is ?
Setting :
c) If the quantity demanded changes by 1 unit, what is the price change?
The change in price per unit change in quantity .
d) If the price increases by IDR 1000, what is the increase in the number of products demanded?
If the price increases by 1000:
e) Draw the curve:
This is a linear supply curve starting from when .
Equilibrium Point and Curve Drawing:
You will need to solve for the equilibrium quantity and price using both supply and demand functions for each option provided.
Would you like the detailed step-by-step solution or graphical representation for these problems?
Here are 5 related questions to further explore:
- What is the equilibrium point for each demand and supply function pair given?
- How would a tax on the product affect the equilibrium price and quantity?
- If the price elasticity of demand is calculated, what would it be for the demand function in No. 4?
- How does a shift in the supply curve (e.g., due to a cost increase) impact the equilibrium?
- Can you derive the consumer surplus and producer surplus from the given functions?
Tip: Always set up your functions clearly when dealing with linear demand and supply equations. This helps in visualizing the problem and solving it systematically.
