WHY THE MOON CAKE'S PRICE DECREASES AFTER THE FESTIVAL?
People usually buy moon cakes to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival
Just a few people really like eating moon cakes It is a tradition for people eating moon cake before the
festival The companies start to have discounts on or before the
festival
![Page 21: M OON CAKE (E CONOMICS P ROJECT ) Vanessa Lam (18) Janice Chan (5) Karen Lam (19) Phoebe Lo (25) Ruby Tin (33) Sharon Wong (38)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf75503460f949c6dbe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
This is their peak season for the company to earn money From the data provided, we can see that a lot of
companies sell coupons and have discounts around a week before the Festival
This is their skills to make profit and promote the moon cakes

the mid- autumn festival The prices of mooncakes are more expensive
before the festival
