Diagrammatically show and explain what happened to the oil market if the price remained unchanged despite the concerns over the fuel demand. (b) (c) You sell two different goods: printers and toner cartridges. The price elasticity of demand for the printers is -3.4, and you earn a revenue of RM15,000 per month from the good.
