As the new owner of a supermarket, you have inherited a large inventory of unsold imported Limburger cheese, and you would like to set the price so that your revenue from selling it is as large as possible. Previous sales figures of the cheese are shown in the following table.

Price per Pound, p $3.00 $4.00 $5.00

Monthly Sales, q (pounds) 402 284 222

(a) Use the sales figures for the prices $4 and $5 per pound to construct a demand function of the form q = Ae−bp, where A and b are constants you must determine. (Round A and b to two significant digits.) q =

(b) Use your demand function to find the price elasticity of demand at each of the prices listed. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) p = $3, E = p = $4, E = p = $5, E =

(c) At what price should you sell the cheese to maximize monthly revenue? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $

(d) If your total inventory of cheese amounts to only 200 pounds, and it will spoil one month from now, how should you price it to receive the greatest revenue? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
