It is known that he's firm is experiencing serious cash flow problems and you have to increase total revenue as soon as possible.

- Plotted through point E are two demand curves; one is relatively elastic, and the other is relatively inelastic. Each demand curve also has its own marginal revenue (MR) curve. Merge these curves into a kinked demand curve by moving the curves' endpoints to remove the unwanted sections of the curves. Then, adjust the marginal revenue curves to properly accompany the new kinked demand curve.
