As the Price of these Products increase, so does the WillingnessTo Pay (WTP) of Customers. Mainstream Economics decouples Price from WTPand treats the two as independent variables. When increasing Pricedisproportionally increases WTP the result is an upward-sloping Demand Curve. The Customer's Willingness ToPay (WTP) is proportional to thesquare of the Price:WTP = (Price - 1.0) ^ 2 Create a Demand Curve bysweeping the Price from $1.00 to$2.20 in 61 iterations andcapturing the sales results. Set the colors for each salesresult (Quantity, Revenue, andProfit) then plot the results in theLine Charts. Update the WTP of Customersbased upon the changing Priceof Sprockets. Normally WTP andPrice are independent variables. The Revenue Maximizing Priceand the Profit Maximizing Price ispotentially unlimited.
