The table shows the demand schedule facing Nina, a monopolist selling baskets. What is the change in total revenue if she raises the price from $12 to $14?
$-180
$180
$-40
$40
The Correct Option is $-40
Explanation:
Total Revenue = Price Quantity
At price of $12,
Total Revenue = 12 15 = 180
At price of $14,
Total Revenue = 14 10 = 140
Change in total revenue = Total revenue at price $14 - total revenue at price $12 = 140 - 180 = $-40
