3. The components of marginal revenueJabari's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Jabari initially produced eight trucks, but then decided to increase production to nine trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Jabari’s HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Jabari must lower the price from $80,000 to $60,000 per truck. Notice that Jabari gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial eight engines because they are all sold at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by selling at $60,000 rather than $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $60,000. 3.

In reference to the attached chart, I was supposed to calculate the bundle prices and net profits. I got assistance, and here is the feedback: The Satisfying Smoothie's net profit is 10.00 - 5.00 = 5.00. The Hydration Power Drink's net profit is 7.00 - 3.00 = 3.00. How is the net profit for Hydration Power Drink 3.00, when 7-3= 4? And Why would it be 7-3, and not 7-6?

MelCo’s Xamoff The global pharmaceuticals giant, MelCo, has had great success with Xamoff, and over-thecounter medicine that reduces exam-related anxiety. A patent currently protects Xamoff from competition, although rumors persist that similar products are in development. Two years ago, MelCo sold 25 million units for a price of $10 for a package of ten. Last year it raised the price to $11, and sales fell to 22 million units. Finally, a financial analyst estimates the cost of production at $2 per package. (a) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $10. Is this price too high or too low? (b) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $11. Is this price too high or too low? (c) Based on your answers to (a) and (b), what can we say about MelCo’s profit-maximizing price?
