Imagine that you own one of several popular restaurants in your area. Due to the Covid Pandemic of 2020, all restaurants were forced to close down for two months. You are now allowed to reopen your restaurant to the public. During this time, labor costs were reduced however, overhead such as rent, electricity, etc. was still a large percentage of your total costs. You are facing a dilemma; you are short on funds. What options should you consider? For example, should you raise menu prices to make up for the lost revenue? Should you lower menu prices to attract more customers? Is your customer volume elastic? If you raise prices and the customer volume falls will the increase in prices compensate for the loss of volume? If it does not, is there some way you can make up the revenue shortfall? If you lower menu prices and revenue falls is there some way you can increase your business revenue?  Explain your reasoning in terms of demand and elasticity.
