Question

Use the following graph for questions 9 - 11Oranges_demand_curve

Increasing the price of oranges at point D will result in:

  1. An increase in total revenue
  2. A decrease in quantity demanded
  3. Movement toward a portion of the demand curve that is more elastic

Answer

If we are in the inelastic portion of the demand curve, an increase in price will increase TR, since the price effect is greater than the quantity effect. Quantity will still decrease.

Compare your answer with the correct one above
