Answer:

The correct answer is: increase prices.

Explanation:

Price elasticity refers to the changes in quantity demand after the change in price for a good or service. <em>Elasticity is calculated by dividing the percentage in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. If the result is equal or greater than one (1) the demand is elastic. If the result is lower than 1 the demand is inelastic. </em>

Thus,<em> in the case given, Rock Record Company has an inelastic price demand since it is lower than 1. It implies changes in price are unlikely to change the quantity demanded. As the company needs to increase the revenue, the easiest method to achieve that is to raise the product prices.</em>

Answer:

Increase price.

Explanation:

Price elasticity is the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. Ideally as price increases quantity demanded reduces. When prices reduce quantity demanded increases.

As a new manager of Rock Record company, if the economics consultants inform you the price elasticity is less than one it means quantity does not change with increase in price.

So price can be increased without a corresponding decrease in price. The goal of higher revenue can be achieved by increasing the product price.
