Wilderness Fanatic, a manufacturer of outdoor goods, is willing to supply 1000 of its Blue Thrash tandem kayaks when the price per kayak is set at $690. If the price per kayak is reduced by $100, Wilderness Fanatic will supply 250 fewer kayaks.
(a) Determine the supply equation for this product, assuming price, p, and quantity, x, are linearly related.
p = ______
(b) Determine the price per kayak when Wilderness Fanatic is willing to supply 1130 units.
____$ per kayak

Respuesta :

1) let P represent Price, and since the dependency is linear, the supply equation will take the following form:

A) Y- [tex]Y_{1\\} [/tex] =  [tex](\frac{Y_{1} -Y_{2} }{P_{1} -P_{2} } ) (P_{1} -P_{2} )[/tex]

⇒ Y - 1,000 = [tex](\frac{-250}{-100} ) (P-690)[/tex]

⇒ Y - 1,000 = [tex]\frac{5}{2} (P-690) = (\frac{5}{2})P - 345 [/tex]

⇒ Y = [tex](\frac{5}{2})P + 1,000- 345 [/tex]

⇒ Y = [tex](\frac{5}{2})P + 655[/tex], therefore,

P = [tex](\frac{2}{5}) (Y-655) [/tex]

B) When Y = 1,130, the price would be:

⇒P =   [tex]\frac{2}{5} (1,130 - 655) [/tex]

⇒ P =  [tex]\frac{2}{5} (485) [/tex]

Therefore:

P = $194
