Sumario:This article presents a response to the commentary made by Robert Korkie (1975) regarding the author's study of a firm facing uncertain demand. The author proved the consistency of his findings that linear stochastic demand functions will satisfy the principle of increasing uncertainty (PIU) for the range of outputs relevant to a profit oriented firm. As stated in the article, the author indicated that linear stochastic demand curves satisfying are consistent with the PIU over the range of outputs relevant to analysis.
