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.
a. 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?
Should the company retain their current market price?…
Briefly explain how the total revenue for a profit-seeking firm is determined.
In reference to the attached chart, I was supposed to calculate the bundle prices and net profits. I got assistance, and here is the feedback:
The Satisfying Smoothie's net profit is 10.00 - 5.00 = 5.00.
The Hydration Power Drink's net profit is 7.00 - 3.00 = 3.00.
How is the net profit for Hydration Power Drink 3.00, when 7-3= 4? And Why would it be 7-3, and not 7-6?

When he does this, the marginal cost of the last shirt he produces is $ , which is than the price Darnell receives for each shirt he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional shirt (that is, one more shirt than would maximize his profit) is $ , which is than the price Darnell receives for each shirt he sells. Therefore, Darnell's profit- maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the curves. Because Darnell is a price taker, this last condition can also be written asarrow_forwardSuppose Ginny runs a small business that manufactures shirts.
