Hello I need help with a question
It's MJ 2009 paper 2, Q2
How might knowledge of price elasticity be of use to a producer? [6 marks]
Please answer with as many details as possible.
Much appreciated.
Hey,
1. It will help them to determine which potential product's prices can be increased, in order to increase total revenue earned.
2. It can also be useful for producers to understand which products can be relied on, i.e. which ones will provide the company with a steady flow of revenue.
However, it has limitations,
1. It can only provide information about whether the revenue will increase or not regarding price, and does not take into account external effects.
There are more, but I believe these should be enough, and I dont have time.
