Answer:

Explanation:

Price elasticity = Percentage change in demand/Percentage change in Price

Percentage change in Q= 513-236=277/513x100 = 53.99%

Percentage change in P= 0.89-0.67= 0.22/0.67x100 = 32.83%

Ed=53.99/32.83 = 1.6

Since the price elasticity of demand is elastic so the company should decrease the price to increase revenu
