refer to the following:
Build-Right Concrete Products produces specialty cement used in construction of highways. Build-Right is a price-setting firm and estimates the demand for its cement by the State Highway Department using a demand function in the nonlinear form:
where Q = yards of cement demanded monthly, P = the price of Build-Right's cement per yard, M = state tax revenues per capita, and = the price of asphalt per yard. The manager at Build-Right transforms the nonlinear relation into a linear relation for estimation. The estimation results are presented below:
-If the price of asphalt (
) decreases 20%, the estimated quantity of cement demanded will:
A) increase 12%
B) increase 6%
C) increase 1.2%
D) decrease 12%.
E) decrease 1.2%.
