Demand Analysis of low-calorie microwavable food Student’s name: Course title: Date: Professor’s Name: QD = 20‚000 - 10P + 1500A + 5PX + 10 I Since R2 is considerable high‚ the model explains the demand quite well. Putting the values of P‚ A‚ Px and I in the above equation‚ we get‚ Converting all price into dollars‚ we get‚ QD = 20‚000 – (10×8000) + (1500×64) + (5×9000) + (10×5000) = 131000 Now‚ own price elasticity (ep) = × = -10‚ P = 8000‚ Q = 131000

Thus‚ the demand curve will be steeper. The factors that will cause the demand to be relatively
