Answer:
In the first range of prices (with PED 15 - 2.5) as the price of the good or service falls, total revenue should increase. Imagine that a 1% reduction in price will result in a 15% increase in quantity demanded. The same happens when PED = 2.5, since a 1% reduction will increase quantity demanded by 2.5%.
e.g. price = $100, quantity demanded = 100, total revenue = $10,000
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 115, total revenue = $11,385
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 102.5, total revenue = $10,147.50
On the other range (PED = 1.5 - 0.75) as the price of the good or service falls, at first total revenue will increase but then it will decrease.
e.g. price = $100, quantity demanded = 100, total revenue = $10,000
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 101.5, total revenue = $10,048.50
- price falls to $99, quantity demanded increases to 100.75, total revenue = $9,974.25

-First step: establish the activities that use resources and assign the costs to them.
-Second step: identify what causes the costs in each activity and this would be the allocation base.
-Third step: find an activity rate.
-Fourth step: assign costs to the products according to the activity usage by the product.
According to this, the answer is that during the fourth step in activity-based costing, overhead costs in each activity cost pool are assigned to products.
