able to properly calculate the price of a elasticity of demand for its products‚ it will be able to determine the market’s responsiveness‚ or sensitivity‚ to changes in price for a specific product and will allow the firm to more accurately forecast the effects on total revenue. Knowledge of elasticity can help a firm to project big-picture effects of raising or lowering products’ prices by predicting changes in market price on total industry sales and total consumer expenditures in the industry.
