Relationships of Changes in Price‚ Price Elasticity and Total Revenue 1. By definition‚ total revenue (TR) is obtained by multiplying quantity demanded of a product (Qx) by price (Px)‚ that is‚ TR = Qx Px. (1) In class‚ by taking the derivative of the above total revenue equation with respect to price (dTR/dPx)‚ we obtain the following general functional relation: dTR/dPx = Qx (1 + Ep) (2). In Equation (2)‚ Ep represents the price elasticity of demand. Since
