Recently, Verizon Wireless ran a pricing trial in order to estimate the elasticity of demand for its services. The manager selec

ted three states that were representative of its entire service area and increased prices by 5 percent to customers in those areas. One week later, the number of customers enrolled in Verizon’s cellular plans declined 4 percent in those states, while enrollments in states where prices were not increased remained flat. The manager used this information to estimate the own-price elasticity of demand and, based on her findings, immediately increased prices in all market areas by 5 percent in an attempt to boost the company’s 2016 annual revenues. One year later, the manager was perplexed because Verizon's 2016 annual revenues were 10 percent lower than those in 2015—the price increase apparently led to a reduction in the company’s revenues.

Answer:Yes, the Manager made an error.

Explanation:

Increasing the revenue of a firm depends on two factors which are price and effective demand. An increase in price without a fall in demand will increase revenue, an increase in demand without a fall in price will equally increase revenue.

However when manipulating price only in order to increase revenue care must be taken to ensure same or higher level of demand for an increase in price which lead to a fall in demand may boomerang for the firm.

E.g

Year. $ Price. Demand. Revenue$

1. 5. 100. 500

2. 6. 80. 480

The above illustrate an increase in price without a rise or maintaining the same level of demand leads fall in revenue.

Is scented candle harmful to dogs?
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Scented candles are not harmful to dogs for normal use, but high concentrations in a confined space for a long time would have an impact on the dog's sense of smell.

Because the candles you use will cause a lot of burnt smoke which is harmful to dogs. And aromatherapy ingredients contain a lot of chemical substances. If the windows are opened, it will be ok, if not the more chemical substances accumulate, the more it will be harmful to dogs, or even to the health of people.

Here are several ways to avoid the harm caused by aromatherapy to dogs:

Do not ignite the two types of aromatherapy in a short time or at the same time, to avoid the two types of aromatherapy, which are mutually ineffective and produce toxic gas.

Try not to light candles in a closed bedroom when you sleep.

Keep air circulation.

Keep all kinds of aromatherapy out of reach of dogs.

Use Home Lights scented candles in the right way.
