The manufacturer of the new player is willing to sell these at a price of $90.00 if 8,000,000 of the players can be sold, but would sell these for $40.00 if only 2,000,000 could be sold. (Let p denote price, and q denote the number of MP3 players.) (a) what is the demand equation? (Hint: Calculate the slope and then use the Point-slope form of a linear equation.)

Explanation / Answer

Sell ( $90 , 8,000,000) and ( $40 , 2,000,000)

Deamnd equ : slope = ( 8,000,000 - 2,000,000)/(90 - 40) = 120000

q = mp +c ; 8000,000 = 90*120000 + c ; c= -2800000

So, q = 120000p - 2800000

if p = $ 50 find q : q = 120000*50 - 2800000 = 3200000 buyers

Supply equation : ( $35, 7000000) and ( $70, 2000000)

slope = ( 5000000)/-35 = -142857.14

q = mx + c ; q = -142857.14p + c ; 2000000 = -142857.14*70 + c

c = 11999999.8

q = -142857.14p + 11999999.8

q = 4400,000 ; 4400,000 = -142857.14p + 11999999.8

p = $ 53.20
