Compute the price elasticity of demand if price
increases from $10 to $12 and quantity demanded falls from 600 to
400. Use the value obtained and a specific example to determine
whether price must be increased or decreased to increase total
revenue. Explain why. Note: Explain only how to increase total
revenue, not decrease it.
