If the demand elasticity is more than 1 in absolute value , this means demand is elastic and as supply decreases ,then the supply curve shifts to the left . As a result price increases and quantity decreases but the price increase is less than the decrease in equilibrium quantity because of elastic demand .Therefore, the revenue for the firm decreases . Hence, option (B) is correct. If demand is inelastic that is less than 1 then, the decrease in quantity is less than the increase in price , which increase the firm’s revenue.

Which of the following statements about the price elasticity of demand is correct?
Question 5 Which of the following statements about the price elasticity of demand is correct? The absolute value of the elasticity of demand ranges from zero to one. The elasticity of demand for a good in general is equal to the elasticity of demand for a specific brand of the good. Demand is more elastic the smaller the percentage of the consumer's budget the item takes up. Demand is more elastic in the long run than it is in the short run. Question 6 The cross-price elasticity...
