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.
