Ans.

11. Following are three sample equations. Plot them on a graph in which Q is on the vertical axis and P is on the horizontal axis. Then transform these equations so P is expressed in terms of Q and plot these transformed equations on a graph in which P is on the vertical axis and Q is on the horizontal axis. a. Q = 250 – 10 P b. Q = 1,300 – 140 P c.Q=45-.5

Ans.
12. Use the following equation to derive a demand schedule and a demand curve. What types of products might exhibit this type of nonlinear demand curve? Explain. Q = 100 P – 0.3
