10 + 6 = 16

16/2 = 8

½ * 10/1 = 5

16 + 2 = 18

18/3 = 6

½ * 8/2 = 2

18 + 2 = 20

20/4 = 5

1/1 * 6/3 = 2

20 + 2 = 22

22/5 = 4.4

1/0.5 * 5/4 = 2.5

22 + 0 = 22

22/6 = 3.6

1/0.9 * 4.5/5 = 1

7

0

22 + 0 = 22

22/7 = 3.1

1/0.5 * 3.6/6 = 1.2

8

22 + 0 =22

22/8 = 2.7

1/0.4 * 3.1/7 = 11

9

-5

22 + (-5) = 17

17/9 = 1.9

1/0.8 * 2.7/9 = 0.38

Demand Curve: To determine the demand curve, we must first determine the pricing for each unit of quantity. This can be accomplished by multiplying the total revenue values by the quantity. The following are the price ranges:
