Answer:

b. The demand for the company’s products is elastic, so total revenue declines when prices are raised.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

If prices are increased, the quantity demanded falls more than the percentage rise in price. As a result total revenue falls.

Demand is inelastic if a change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded.

If demand is inelastic and prices are increased, the change in quantity demanded would be less than the change in price , as a result , total revenue would rise.

I hope my answer helps you

Society suffers a deadweight loss in a pure-monopoly market because
nekit [7.7K]
A pure-monoply means that a company does not have to compete with other producers within the market. Since they aren't competing with a good or service, they aren't competing with each others customers either. When a company does not have to compete on price/customers they may end up being greedy and have market failure.
