Answer:

If the demand for the product or services goes down

Explanation:

A reduction in demand for a good or service results in a decline in its price. As per the law of supply and demand, a decline in demand while holding other factors constant pushing the equilibrium price down. Reduced prices mean that the revenues obtained from the sales of the product or service will decline.

Hiring an extra worker when the demand is low will lead to losses. Low demand causes low prices, which implies that the cost of the new employee will be greater than the benefits obtained from the worker. A reduction in prices will mean that the marginal product of labor will be lower than the cost of labor.

The average ticket price for a concert at the opera house was $50. The average attendance was 2500. When the ticket price was r

Ber [7]

Answer:

The price per ticket should be $37.5

Explanation:

First we need to determine the change in demand (attendance) as a result of every $1 increase in the price of ticket.

The ticket price increased by $4 (from 50 to 54) and the demand fell by 400 (from 2500 to 2100). The change per dollar is, 400 / 4 = 100.

So, for every $1 increase in price, demand falls by 100.

The revenue is calculated by multiplying price by quantity demanded. Revenue equation will be,

Let x be the change in price from $50.

Revenue = (50 + x) * (2500 - 100x)

Revenue = 125000 - 5000x + 2500x - 100x²

Revenue = 125000 - 2500x - 100x²

To calculate the price that maximizes the revenue, we need to take the derivative of this equation.

d/dx = 0 - 1 * 2500x° - 2 * 100x

0 = -2500 - 200x

2500 = -200x

2500 / -200 = x

-12.5 = x

Price should be 50 - 12.5 = 37.5

At price $37.5 the revenue of the Opera House is maximized.
