Wait, is unit elastic demand the same as perfectly elastic demand? I feel like I'm missing something here. Someone please help me out!

Oh man, I'm so confused. Is unit elastic demand the same as inelastic demand? I can never remember which one is which. Guess I'll just go with C and hope for the best!

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm going to have to go with option D - an increase in price will have no effect on total revenue. That's what unit elastic demand means, right?

But what about option A? Wouldn't an increase in price lead to a decline in total revenue?

I agree with Amie. When demand is unit elastic, consumers are sensitive to price changes, so increasing the price will lead to a decrease in total revenue.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. If demand is unit elastic, a price increase will result in a less-than-proportional decrease in quantity demanded, so total revenue should decline.

Exactly, it's all about that balance between price and quantity demanded.

Yeah, if demand is unit elastic, a price increase should lead to a smaller decrease in quantity demanded.

Yeah, if demand is unit elastic, a price increase should lead to a decrease in quantity demanded that is less than the increase in price.
