Comment on their values.2 Calculate the total revenue (price x quantity demanded) for bread and forairline tickets at each price.Quantity demanded per month1,0001,8003a Would you advise bread-makers to cut the price of a loaf from 15to 20 cents? Explain your answer.Would you advise the airline to cut the air fare from $500 to $4007Explain your answer.4 Using the information above, decide which of the words in italics below doesnot apply in each case.aDemand is price elastic when the percentage change in quantity demandedis more/less than the percentage change in price. A fall in price will causea large/small extension in quantity demanded so that total sales revenuefalls/rises. If price is increased, total revenue would fall/rise.Demand is price inelastic when quantity demanded changes by agreater/smaller percentage than price. A fall in price will cause a small/large extension in quantity demanded so that total sales revenue fails/rises. A rise in price therefore causes total revenue to fall/rise.

draw a market demand for a good that has many substitutes. You will recall that price elasticity of demand for a particular good or service is influenced by various factors, including whether the good or service under consideration has substitutes. Is this demand price elastic or inelastic? Why do you think this? Next draw a market demand for a good that has few substitutes. Is this demand price elastic or inelastic and why do you think this? With these two demand curves in mind, please answer the following questions: Discuss a real world example of each and explain why you think they are good examples of the two types of market demand. Why? If you wanted to increase revenue, which demand curve would you rather face as a company? Why? If the demand curves were linear, how would you modify your answer to the question above? (Hint: think about what happens to revenue across a linear demand curve.) Consider the market demand curve of a good with a lot of substitutes—perhaps the…

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion “This week, my place of employment, Super-Save Supermarket, lowered the price of apples from $1 to 80 cents per pound. The quantity of apples we sold last week was 200 pounds. And this week, the quantity sold was 250 pounds. I’m interested in knowing about the price elasticity of demand. In this case, can it be described as elastic, inelastic, or unitary elastic? What do you predict will happen to total revenue?”
