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 Ep is always

They have typical three layer blood vessel wall structure with a thick tunica media. The walls of arteries are highly compliant due to the elastic fibres present. The wall thickness of the arteries varies in based on the proximity to the heart. The elasticity of arteries allows pressure absorption from the left ventricle of the heart as it pumps blood into the arteries. There are two significant types of arteries‚ elastic and muscular. Elastic arteries are the largest in the body and include the aorta

1. When the price of corn was "low‚" consumers in the United States spent a total of $8 billion annually on its consumption. When the price halved‚ consumer expenditures actually DECREASED to $6 billion annually. This indicates that: A. The demand for corn is elastic. B. The demand curve for corn is upward sloping. C. Corn is a Giffen good. D. The demand for corn is inelastic. Solution: C. Corn is a Giffen good. Giffen goods are an exception to the Law of Demand. Contrary to the Law

When a firm changes prices‚ the effect on profits is more important than the effect on revenue. There is a simple formula to calculate the critical Price Elasticity of demand which is just sufficient to maintain the contribution to overheads and profits. This will be greater than that required to maintain revenue. A common issue in business and in business studies is whether a firm should change the prices at which products are offered. The calculations begin with estimates of the reaction of
