Management of McPablo's Food Shops has completed a study of weekly demand for its "old-fashioned" tacos in 53 regional markets. The study revealed that Q = 400 - 1,200P + .8A + 55Pop + 800P°, where Q is the number of tacos sold per store per week, A is the level of local advertising expenditure (in dollars), Pop denotes the local population (in thousands), and P0 is the average taco price of local competitors. For the typical McPablo's outlet, P = $1.50, A = $1,000, Pop = 40, and P0= $1.
