Solution Preview

A. Calculate the unit price if the vendor sold 200 CDs.
P=20.25-0.01*Q
Put Q=200
P=20.25-0.01*200=$18.25

B. Calculate the demand curve for CD.
P = 20.25 - .01Q
On rearranging we get
0.01Q=20.25-P
Q=2025-100P

C. Calculate the fixed and variable costs.
C = 880 + 0.25Q + 0.0025Q^2
Fixed cost can be found by putting Q=0
Fixed Cost=C at zero ...
