Did not understand the answer of the question #53518, please elucidate in easy way. the answer by you is Ed = -3.0, P = 600, the company be able to sell 10,000/(1 + |-3|*(600 - 500)/500) = 6,250 sailboards each year. b) The total revenue will change by TR2 - TR1 = 600*6,250 - 500*10,000 = 3,750,000 - 5,000,000 = -1,250 as a result of the price increase.
