Femi Initially produced five trucks, but then decided to increase production to six trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Femi's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck; Femi must lower the price from $160,000 to $120,000 per truck. Notice that Femi gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial five engines because they are all sold at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial five engines by selling at $120,000 rather than $160,000.

- You run a small business and would like to predict what will happen to the quantity demanded for your product if you raise your price. While you do not know the exact demand curve for your product, you do know that in the first year you charged $53 and sold 901 units and that in the second year you charged $42 and sold 1,186 units. If you plan to lower your price by 10 percent, what would be a reasonable estimate of what will happen to quantity demanded in percentage terms?
