Answer:

Sales of computer chips will ▼ decrease by 40% and sales of disk drives will ▼ decrease by 20%.

What will happen to sales​ revenue? Computer chip sales revenue will ▼ decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

The ACME Corporation determines that at current​ prices, the demand for its computer chips has a price elasticity of -2 in the short​ run, while the price elasticity for its disk drives is -1. If the corporation decides to raise the price of both products by 20 ​percent, what will happen to its​ sales?

When a product's PED = -2 (price elastic), a 1% increase in price will result in a 2% decrease in quantity demanded.

When a product's PED = -1 (price unitary elastic), a 1% increase in price will result in a 1% decrease in quantity demanded.
