Initially, Alex produced eight fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to nine fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Alex faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Alex must lower his price from $80,000 to $40,000 per fire engine. Note that while Alex gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial eight 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 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.

Suppose Mcdonald's increases the price of its Big Mac to $6 and still manages to sell the same quantity of the Big Mac. How much revenue will Mcdonald's gain? What can you infer about the price elasticity of demand (PED) For Mcdonald's Big Mac? Assume in an alternative scenario, the increase in the price of Big Mac to $6 reduces its quantity sold to 18 million. How much revenue will Mcdonalds gain now? What can you conclude about the PED now? b. Given the two scenarios presented in part a which one do you think is more likely and why? C. Suppose Mcdonds's Big Mac and movie tickets have negative cross price elasticity of 15. What does this number tell us on the relationship between the Big Mac and movie tickets? Suppose.
