Answer: It is reasonable to assume that a profit-maximizing firm will never operate in the inelastic portion of its demand curve.

Explanation:

It should be noted that a firm that profit maximizing will not operate in the inelastic portion of its demand curve because at that point, the firm isn't maximizing profit.

When there's an inelastic demand, an increase in price will bring about a less than proportionate reduction in the quantity of the goods that's demanded. In such case, if the firm operates at the inelastic portion of its demand curve, when it increases price, this will lead to a reduction in income and profit will not be maximize.

<u>Factor      Elasticity          Increase        Effective Increase </u>

                      A                        B      A × B

Capital      0.3                                 10%      3.00%

Labor        0.7                                  5%       3.50%

Increase due to Productivity                      5.00%

Total Increase in Output                             11.50%

(3% + 3.5% + 5%)  

Original Output                                              5000

Increase in Output (5000 × 11.5%)                 575

Increase Output (5000 + 575)                      5575

BigorU [14]
I think this is important without a doubt . You might need to use that money someday for yourself but won't have it because you spent it on a HUGE list of groceries. If you put some money aside for yourself, you will have money that your allowed to do anything with (saving, buying clothes, buying cars, etc.) You should always save some of your payment that way you always have extra money in case of any money emergenies or such.
