1What is the relationship between the form of elasticity (e.g. unitary) and total revenue?

2Define each of the following: a) elastic demand b) unitary demand c) inelastic demand.

Expert Solution

Let P be the price and Q be the quantity of a commodity.

The total revenue earned , TR=P*Q

Differentiating both sides wrt Q we get,

dTR/dQ= P+Q(dP/dQ)

dTR/dQ=P- (-){(Q/P)*(dP/dQ)}*P

dTR/dQ = P(1- 1/Elasticity )

If elasticity increases 1/Elasticity falls. P(1- 1/Elasticity ) increases.Total revenue will increase , as a result of change in Q.
If elasticity falls 1/Elasticity increases. P(1- 1/Elasticity ) falls. Total revenue will fall , as a result of change in Q.
For unit elasticity dTR/dQ=0 which means there will be no change in total revenue.
