Answer:

a) Demand function: q=6000-10\cdot p

b) The rebate should be of $200, so the sale price becomes $300 per unit.

c) The rebate should be of $150, so the sale price becomes $350 per unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) In this case, we have a known point of the demand function (1000 units sold at $500), and the slope of a linear function (increase by 100 units fora decrease in $10).

We can express the demand function (linear) as:

q=b+m\cdot p

To calculate the slope m, we use:

m=\Delta q/\Delta p=(+100)/(-10)=-10

To calculate b, we use the known point and the calculated slope:

q=b+m\cdot p\\\\b=q-m\cdot p=1000-(-10)\cdot (500)=1000+5000=6000

Then the demand function is:

q=6000-10\cdot p

b) The revenue can be expressed as:

R=q\cdot p = (6000-10p)\cdot p=6000p-10p^2

To maximize, we can derive and equal to zero

dR/dp=6000-2*10p=0\\\\20p=6000\\\\p=300

The rebate should be of $200, so the sale price becomes $300 per unit.

c) If we take into account the cost, we have that

R=q\cdot p-C=(6000p-10p^2)-(68000+100q)\\\\R=(6000p-10p^2)-(68000+100(6000-10p))\\\\R=6000p-10p^2-(68000+600000-1000p)\\\\R=-10p^2+7000p-668000

To maximize, we can derive and equal to zero

dR/dp=-20p+7000=0\\\\p=7000/20=350

The rebate should be of $150, so the sale price becomes $350 per unit.

How to solve 6x + y= -5, -6x + 12y=96 using elimination and does it have no solution or many solutions?
Alika [10]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange 6x + y= -5, -6x + 12y=96 vertically:

6x + y= -5

-6x + 12y=96       Now combine like terms:

--------------------

       13y = 91

Solving for y by dividing both sides by 13:  y = 7

Find x by substituting 7 for y in the second equation:  -6x + 12(7) = 96

Then -6x = -84 + 96, or:

-6x = 12, and so x = -2
