To explain:
The method used in allocation of table resources in the given three restaurants.
Answer to Problem 1SPPA
Company M is a place where usually anyone goes. Art Restaurant will attract middle-class income earners and upper-middle class income earners and LB in NY City will attract the upper-middle class income earners and high-income earners.
Explanation of Solution
Company M does not accept reservations as it is restaurant where one can sit and have a meal. All types of people visit Company M since its menu prices are not costly. Thus, there is no allocation of table and most people who visit Company M are willing to wait till a seat is vacant, hence reservation is not accepted.
Art restaurant is usually a target for middle-class income earners and upper-middle class income earners and people. The people who want to visit this restaurant prefer to either wait for a vacant seat or they reserve in prior in order to eliminate waiting.
LB in NY City focuses more on the upper-middle class income earners and high-income earners and usually these types of people visit this restaurant. Hence, for these elite people to eliminate waiting and to maintain the restaurant's class, reservation is vital.

He wants to increase his total revenue. He knows that, when tacos are $1.00, he sells 20 an hour, and when he lowers the price to $0.75, he sells 25 an hour. (a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand for Jose's hotdogs using the midpoint formula. (show the formula and your calculations) (b) Is demand elastic or inelastic? How do you know? Explain your answer. (c) Using the price elasticity of demand calculated in section A, explain whether Eric should raise or lower the price to generate more revenue.arrow_forward
