A company surveyed 1,000 potential customers to estimate the demand for a new high-tech blender. The table below shows the cumulative number of respondents who indicated they would be willing to purchase the blender at or below each listed price. Based on this data, what is the estimated quantity demanded if the company sets the price at $150?

When using a consumer survey to estimate a product's demand, the quantity demanded at a price of $20 is calculated by counting only the number of respondents who stated their maximum willingness to pay is exactly $20.
A company is launching a novel kitchen appliance and needs to estimate its demand curve. Arrange the following steps in the correct logical sequence for using a consumer survey to construct this curve.
A tech startup developed a novel smart home device and, having no past sales data, surveyed 1,000 potential customers. The survey described the product's features and asked, "What is the maximum price you would be willing to pay for this device?" The company then used the responses to construct a demand curve. Which of the following describes the most significant potential flaw in using this survey data to predict actual sales?
A manufacturing firm can use one of three different technologies to produce a specific quantity of output. The wage for a worker is £10, and the price of coal has just fallen to £5 per ton. Match each technology, described by its input requirements, with its total production cost.
