Answer: (b) -3.08
Explanation:
The relationship between the demand(q), price per unit product(p) and the disposable income,yd is given by the expression below;
q= 20ln(7yd-2p).
From the expression above, the marginal demand,
∂ q/∂ p is the differential of the equation of relationship between the demand, price and disposable income.
This involves considering the demand,q as the dependent variable and the price per unit product,p as the independent variable and the disposable income,yd is considered constant.
Therefore ,
∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷(7yd-2p)
By substitution of
yd =$3000÷1000= $3
and p= $4
∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷((7×$3)-(2×$4))
∂ q/∂ p= -40÷13= 3.08
Please see the attachment for knowledge on how ∂ q/∂ p was obtained.
