Homework Answers
Answer : The answer is option A.
Here the elasticity of demand is 0.5 which is less than 1. If the elasticity of demand is less than 1 then the demand is inelastic. So, here the demand is inelastic. In case of inelastic demand if price rise then the total revenue increase. As here the demand is inelastic hence if the firm increase the price level then the firm's "total revenue will increase". therefore, option A is correct.

Price Elasticity of Demand: Naturally Good Organics Price Elasticity of Demand measurers how changed in a price affect the quantity of the product demanded. Specifically, it is the ratio of the percentage change in quantity demanded to the percentage change in price. In order to understand how to plan a successful pricing program, marketers must understand how elastic or inelastic the consumers are to changes in price. In other words, to what extent will a price increase or decrease result...
