Jabari initially produced four trucks, but then decided to increase production to five 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 $105,000 to $90,000 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 four 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 four engines by selling at $90,000 rather than $105,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $90,000arrow_forwardHow would you characterize the nature of competition among small food companies?

- Consider a price-searching firm, Sam’s Fire Engines, which sells fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Sam’s produced seven fire engines but then decided to increase production to eight fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve the firm faces. To sell the additional engine, Sam’s must lower its price from $100,000 to $50,000 per engine. (Hint: Sam’s Fire Engines gains revenue from the additional engine it sells, but it also loses revenue from the initial seven engines because it sells them all at the lower price.) On the following graph, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial seven engines by selling at $50,000 rather than $100,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $50,000.arrow_forwardWhat factors might determine demand elasticity for SkiButternut’s offerings?arrow_forwardSuppose you were asked to manage a golf course that was currently charging a uniform price.
