I Need Help From Anyone Capable To Assist Me With This Economis Question by phl3moGh(m): 9:46pm On Oct 26, 2016
helo people, im sorry to bother anyone(which i hope im forgiven) but i need help from fellow students seriously!
I have an economics question i'd like someone to help me with. im in level 100, Accra Technical University, Ghana!

the qtn is;

1. Educare incorporated is into educational consultancy. In 2015, Educare charged a consultancy fee of $1000 per service rendered to each customer. A total of ten(10) institutions registered with the company in 2015. An economic research firm has estimated that the *price elasticity coefficient* for the company's service as at January 2017 is -2.5. As the chief marketing Officer, you are required to:

(a) Use the arc elasticity of demand formula to determine the price that the comapny should charge for its services in 2017, if it wants to increase its customer base to twenty(20) institutions.

(b) calculate the change in total revenue if the new price is implemented

2. Discuss the relevance of price elasticity of demand to the marketing manager in terms of revenue maximization. support your argument with appropriate diagrams.....



please help me with this qtn... thank you!

Okay so in order to maximize revenue, one would have to look at the elasticity of demand for the product involved.


In this case demand is price elastic, that is the co-efficient of elasticity, which is 2.5 is >1

**we ignore the negative sign

Hence an increase in price of the commodity will lead to a reduction in the quantity demanded, which will lead to a reduction in total revenue.

However a decrease in price will lead to the opposite of the above since demand is elastic, all other things being equal.

From this we can conclude that the manager needs to reduce price in order to maximize total revenue

You just have to draw a demand curve and a corresponding TR curve illustrating the above
