Author

Category

Subject

Microeconomics

Type

Interactive Tutorial

Description

The student is expected to understand the following aspects of the relationship between elasticity and revenue, given price changes on a linear demand schedule: revenue changes in response to price changes depend upon elasticity; elasticity changes along a linear demand function ; when elasticity is greater than one (elastic), price changes and revenue changes are inverse; when elasticity is less than one (inelastic), price changes and revenue changes are direct; the slope and intercept on a linear demand function affect elasticity at a given level of quantity demanded
