Answer:

The answer to the following question is: (-9.34)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = -0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6

The price elasticity of demand = ( change in quality / change in price)

     =   (dp / dx)  (x/p)

     =   d / dx   (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)   x / p

     =   (-0.14x - 0.7)  x/ (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

elasticity = (-0.14x^2 - 0.7x) / (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

at x=5;

elasticity = (-0.14(5)^2 - 0.7(5)) / (-0.07 (5)^2 - 0.7(5)  + 6)

              = (-3.5 - 3.5) / (-1.75 - 3.5 + 6)

              =  -7/ 0.75 = -9.333

              = -9.34

A marketing manager has just estimated that her firm's marginal revenue will become negative if a proposed price cut is made.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

D. More Units may be sold - but total revenue will be less than it would be at the higher price

Explanation:

Marginal Revenue (MR) represents the additional revenue that can be obtained if sales of a product are increased by one unit.

MR= is change in Total Revenue/Change in Total Output Quantity

In this situation as envisaged by the Marketing Manager, a price cut will lead to an increase in revenue based on more (marginal) units of the product sold at a lower price. The challenge, however, is that this increase in income will not be enough to offset the decrease in revenue that will result as a result of the price cut.

In other words, the organisation is better off selling fewer products or units at its current price than sell more (marginal units) at a reduced price.
