decrease revenue?- A0
- B-0.5
- C-1
- D-1.5

- Dtotal revenue may rise, fall, or remain unchanged. More information is need to determine
the change in total revenue with certainty.
17Refer to Figure 5-7. For prices above $8, demand is price

19. Refer to Figure 5-11. When price falls from $50 to $40, it can be inferred that demand between those two prices is
- Ainelastic, since total revenue decreases from $8,000 to $5,000
