At the beginning of the year 2021, three friends, Ebo, Michael and Joseph decided to set up a company that produces a special kind of fruit juice called BB fruit juice in a city called St. Botch. As fresh graduate from the University of Professional Studies, Accra, you were employed as the firm's general manager in charge of the day to day running of the company. In order to make informed decisions about the firm's product, you employed an economist, who estimated the demand curve of the firm's product by using information from 30 supermarket as follows: Q$ = 99.5 – 2.5P, + 1.25P, – 0.21 + 0.15N + 0.04A Where Qg is the quantity demanded of BB fruit juice in bottles, P, is the per pottle price of BB fruit juice, P, is the per pottle price of Blue Sky, I is the per capita income of the people of St. Botch, N is the number of consumers and A is amount of money the company spends on advertising. In addition, the economist also estimated the supply function for the product as: Qi = -78 +…
Cikli is the manager of a firm that receives a revenue of RM3000 per month from product X and RM7000 per month from product Y. The price elasticity of demand for product X is -2.5 when original quantity (Q) for X and Y are 150 and 175 units, respectively and the cross price elasticity of demand between product X and Y is 1.1. If Cikli increases the price of good X by 1%. How much will Cikli’s total revenue change for product X? How much is Cikli’s new total revenue for both of the products? Plot a graph for product X and another for product Y, showing the before and after change in price. Give an appropriate example for each product.
