When the demand for a good is highly elastic with respect to price, how should a producer want to increase revenue?

Answer:

When the demand for a good is highly elastic, the producer can increase revenue by reducing the price slightly.

Explanation:

Prices can either be Elastic, Inelastic, or Unitary.

The assumption is that the scenario in the question is in a perfect market. A perfect market is one where there are numerous buyers and sellers and there is little or no gap in information about market conditions such as cost of input, prices of the competition, etc.

When the demand for a product is elastic, it means that it is sensitive to changes in price. Price Elasticity is in degrees. When the demand for a product is highly elastic, it means that small changes in price lead to even greater changes in demand.

So for the producer to increase revenue in the short run (all things being equal) all they need to do is reduce the price slightly. This will increase revenue because it most likely will translate to a more than proportionate increase in quantity demanded.

Recall that markets are dynamic and the most predictable reaction of the other producers to this move will be an equal or even greater reduction in price in order to win back lost customers. Hence to sustainably maintain this position The producer will have to ensure that their product is sufficiently differentiated with unique value additions that are impossible or difficult to replicate.

3. tan(α) = height/distance
distance = height/tan(α)
distance = (648 m)/tan(13°) ≈ 1399.5 m

6. when y = |x| is translated 6 units down, 6 is subtracted from the y-value:
.. y = |x| -6

10. In point-slope form, the line through point (h, k) with slope m is
.. y -k = m(x -h)
For (h, k) = (10, -9) and m = -2, you have
.. y +9 = -2(x -10)

ABC is a right triangle, A is located at the origin, B is the right angle, AB = 12, and BC = 5. Find the coordinates of point C
horsena [70]
If B lies along the positive x-axis, then the coordinate of B is (12, 0). Since the right angle is at B and BC is 5, it means that C is 5 units above B.
Therefore, the coordinate of C is (12, 5)

A right triangle is ____ a scalene triangle.<br> Always, sometimes, or never
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very tricky question. We know that in an isosceles triangle, two sides are the same. Because of this, we know that the right angle is always 90 degrees, and the other sides would be 45 degrees each because all triangles add up to 180 degrees. A right triangle could also be scalene, meaning none of the sides are the same, for example a scalene triangle could have sides of 44, 46, and 90 degrees. Rest assured, a right triangle will never be equalateral. Hope this helps :) Merry Christmas
