You've just been hired to run a division of a toy manufacturing company. Your boss informs you that the doll line in your division will be discontinued and replaced by a new and improved set of dolls later this year. He also tells you that he wants you to raise prices on the current doll line by 20% in order to protect profitability during the transition. You go to a number of sources including field sales reps, market research, and other division heads to ask them how responsive customers have been to changes in prices in the past. They tell you that a 10% increase in price always leads to a 5% decrease in sales volume at the firm. What is your recommendation to your boss and what is your reasoning?

D) Use the price function found in (a) to determine the price per unit that will need to be charged at the Q found in (c). This will be the price you should ask per unit for each unit of Q that maximizes total profit. E) How much total profit will result from selling the quantity found in (c) at the price found in (d)? Remember: profit is TR - STC. F) At what level of Q is revenue maximized? Remember: let MR = 0 and solve for Q. MR = 0 signals the objective of maximizing revenue.

Purpoll Oven operates a bakery in Quezon City. Due to its delicious products andstrategic location, there is a 25% increase in their demand last year. However, their customershave not been able to buy the bread of their choice. Meanwhile, additional ovens can’t be addedto the facility due to its size.
