Revenue Calculation Quiz
If a product is sold at $15 per unit and 200 units are sold, what is the total revenue?
Total Revenue = Price × Quantity Sold
Total Revenue = $15 × 200 = $3,000
This question tests understanding of the basic total revenue formula.
Always ensure consistent units when performing calculations.
If total revenue is $5,000 and 250 units were sold, what was the price per unit?
Price = Total Revenue ÷ Quantity Sold
Price = $5,000 ÷ 250 = $20 per unit
Understanding how to rearrange the revenue formula to solve for different variables.
Mixing up the multiplication and division operations when solving for different variables.
Company A sells 100 units at $30 each, while Company B sells 150 units at $20 each. Which company has higher total revenue?
Company A Revenue = $30 × 100 = $3,000
Company B Revenue = $20 × 150 = $3,000
Both companies have equal total revenue ($3,000).
Total revenue depends on both price and quantity, not just one factor.
Which scenario would result in the highest total revenue?
A) $10 × 100 = $1,000
B) $15 × 80 = $1,200
C) $20 × 60 = $1,200
D) $25 × 50 = $1,250
Option D results in the highest revenue ($1,250).
Explain why a business might choose to lower prices even if it results in lower revenue per unit.
A business might lower prices to: 1) Increase sales volume significantly, potentially resulting in higher total revenue, 2) Gain market share from competitors, 3) Clear excess inventory, 4) Penetrate new market segments, 5) Build customer loyalty for future sales. While revenue per unit decreases, the overall strategy might increase total revenue and profitability in the long term.
This question explores the relationship between pricing strategy and business objectives.
