If price elasticity of the demand bigger than 1, increasing of price will decrease revenue. If price elasticity of the demand less than 1, increasing of price will increase revenue. If price elasticity of the demand bigger than 1, changing in price will not have effect on revenue. So, to increase revenue the managing director have to increase price of external hard drives and decrease price of laptops.
