b. Find the Choke price (3 marks)
c. Current owners of the airline’s stock and potential buyers of the stock would adjust their
estimates of what the value of the corporation’s stock should be. As a result, the supply curve
for the stock would increase by k for each price, (note: k is the last 3 digit from your mobile
number). The demand curve for the stock would totally change to be represent by this
equation −

i. New supplied curve
ii. Slope of demand curve - Company manufactures and sells bikes. Each bike costs M R.O to make. The company’s fixed costs
are 500 R.O. In addition, the company owners know that the price of each bike comes from the
price function ? = 60 −
