ASAP!! Mr. Salman Saleem is doing a business of Dairy Products in Karachi. His main products are Milk, Yogurt and Eggs. Last month he has sold around 8000 KG of Milk, 5000 KG of Yogurt and 3000 Dozens of Eggs. The average current market price of the Milk is Rs.120/KG; the Yogurt is 200/KG; and the Eggs is Rs.160/Dozen. In order to increase revenue, Mr. Salman is planning to change the pricing strategy for some or all of the products but he is confused and looking for an expert advice. Market research has suggested that the price elasticity of demand for each product is: Milk: (-) 1.0; Yogurt: (-) 1.5; Eggs: (-) 0.5 Being an expert of the subject, you are required to calculate, evaluate and suggest the planned price change on following situations. Would a 5% price increase have been better for some or all of the products? Would a 5% price reduction have been better for some or all of the products?…
Jabari's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Jabari initially produced eight trucks, but then decided to increase production to nine trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Jabari's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Jabari must lower the price from $80,000 to $40,000 per truck. Notice that Jabari gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial eight 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 eight engines by selling at $40,000 rather than $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $40,000.

The Stopdecay Company sells an electric toothbrush for $25. Its sales have averaged 8,000 units per month over the past year. Recently, its closest competitor, Decayfighter, reduced the price of its electric toothbrush from $35 to $30. As a result, Stopdecay’s sales declined by 1,500 units per month.a. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Stopdecay’s toothbrush and Decayfighter’s toothbrush? What does this indicate about the relationship between the two products?b. If Stopdecay knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its toothbrush is −1.5, what price would Stopdecay have to charge to sell the same number of units as it did before the Decayfighter price cut? Assume that Decayfighter holds the price of its toothbrush constant at $30.c. What is Stopdecay’s average monthly total revenue from the sale of electric toothbrushes before and after the price change determined in part (b)?d. Is the result in part (c) necessarily desirable? What other factors would have to…
