Nile.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue. One strategy is to offer a 10% discount on every book it sells. Nile.com knows that its customers can be divided into two distinct groups according to their likely responses to the discount. The accompanying table shows how the two groups respond to the discount. Group A Group B(sales per week) (sales per week) Volume of sales beforethe 10% discount 1.55 million 1.50 million Volume of sales afterthe 10% discount 1.65 million 1.70 million A. Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticities of demand for group A and group B. B. Explain how the discount will affect total revenue from each group. C. Suppose Nile.com knows which group each customer belongs to when he or she logs on and can choose whether or not to offer the 10% discount. If Nile.com wants to increase its total revenue, should discounts be offered to group A or to group B, to neither group, or to both groups?

(a) Diagrammatically show and explain how oil prices dropped as concerns over fuel demand in the near term in COVID-19 pandemic hit Europe and the United States. 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. You earn a revenue of RM5,000 per month from the toner cartridges. The cross price elasticity of demand for both of the goods is -2.5. If you decide to decrease the price of the printers by 5%, calculate your new total revenues for both of the goods.
