The gains and loss from selling one more unit Sean's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Sean produced seven fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to eight fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Sean faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Sean must lower his price from $100,000 to $50,000 per fire engine. Note that although Sean gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial seven engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial seven engines by selling at $50,000 rather than $100,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $50,000.arrow_forwardBriefly summarize of pricing strategy of the Apple companyarrow_forward

We had in round numbers 500,000 buyers of cars on the $440 basis, and I figure that on the $360 basis we can increase sales to possibly 800,000 cars for the year - less profit on each car, but more cars, more employment of labor, and in the end we get all the total profit we ought to make." If Ford's estimate as correct, what was the price elasticity of demand for his cars?
