The following graph shows the daily demand curve for bippitybops in Detroit.
Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to compute total revenue at various prices along the demand curve.

Calculate the daily total revenue when the market price is $90, $80, $70, $60, $50, $40, $30, and $20 per bippitybop. Then, use the green point
(triangle symbol) to plot the daily total revenue against quantity corresponding to these market prices on the following graph.

8. Examples of price discrimination
Brian and Eleanor are debating the use of coupons by grocery stores. Brian says, "The use of coupons in grocery stores represents a means of price
discrimination. It's pure and simple. Coupons do reduce the price of groceries, but mostly to people who are less likely to buy at the full price." By
contrast, Eleanor contends, "Coupons do not constitute price discrimination. They simply represent a way of temporarily changing the prices of some
grocery items. Coupons reduce the price for everyone, not just for those who are price sensitive."

What would this imply as far as consumer surplus, producer surplus, and market surplus in the market for online retail? B.)

- Economicsarrow_forward2. The gains and loss from selling one more unit Sean's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Sean produced seven fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to eight fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Sean faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Sean must lower his price from $100,000 to $50,000 per fire engine. Note that although Sean gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial seven engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial seven engines by selling at $50,000 rather than $100,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $50,000.arrow_forwardDo not use Aiarrow_forward
