Big Winner is debating decreasing the price of its rooms to $325 per night. Under the initial
demand conditions, you can see that this would cause its total revenue to
Decreasing the price will always have this effect on revenue when Big Winner is operating on the
portion of its demand curve.

Transcribed Image Text:The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Big Winner Hotel and
Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an
economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These
demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the
following table and alongside the graph input tool.
