Homework Answers
b) MR = -$125 and recommend a higher price.
(i) P = $500; absolute value of elasticity of demand, e =
0.8
So, MR = P[1-(1/e)] = 500[1-(1/0.8)] = 500(1-1.25) = 500(-0.25) =
-125
(ii) As demand is inelastic (because 0.8 < 1) so revenue can be increased by increasing the price. Thus, as a consultant higher price than $500 should be advised.
