Question
(a)Diagrammatically show and explain how oil prices dropped as concerns over fuel demand in the near term in COVID-19 pandemic hit Europe and the United States.
(b)Diagrammatically show and explain what happened to the oil market if the price remained unchanged despite the concerns over the fuel demand.
(c)You sell two different goods: printers and toner cartridges. The price elasticity of demand for the printers is -3.4, and you earn a revenue of RM15,000 per month from the good. You earn a revenue of RM5,000 per month from the toner cartridges. The cross price elasticity of demand for both of the goods is -2.5. If you decide to decrease the price of the printers by 5%, calculate your new total revenues for both of the goods.
