FoisPas, a French restaurant in Westwood, has decided to increase the price of its Sunday brunch from $30 to $34. Following this price increase, the number of reservations on a typical Sunday dropped from 60 to 55. Which statement is correct? O FoisPas was initially maximizing revenues, as demand was unit-elastic at the initial price O The total costs faced of FoisPas on a typical Sunday must have increased for sure O The price increase led to a decrease in total revenues as demand was elastic at the initial price O FoisPas faces a horizontal demand curve O The price increase had a positive impact on total revenue as demand was inelastic at the initial price

At a price of $2, price elasticity of demand would be: O unit elastic O inelastic elastic O none of the above, or not enough information given to answer the question
An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from -4 to -5. Suppose the normal price is $48, which equates marginal revenue with marginal cost at the initial elasticity of -4. What should the promotional price be when the elasticity changes to -5? (Hint: In other words, what price will equate marginal revenue and marginal cost?) O $27.00 O $45.00 O $36.00 O $31.50
None
Suppose that an increase in the price of melons from S1.00 to $1.50 per pound increases the quantity of melons that melon farmers produce from 2 million pounds to 4 million pounds. The price elasticity of supply in this case indicates that supply is unit elastic elastic negative inelastic O perfectly inelastic
