b. Demand is unit elastic, and a decrease in price causes an increase in revenue

Explanation:

According tothe revenue theory in economics

when the demand is inelastic the relationship within price and total revenue is direct. either both increases or decreases

when the demand is elastin this relationship is inverve, teh increase in price generates a decrease in total revenue

while their decrease an increase.

But, if the demand is unit elastic then, there is no variation at all

According to this theory, option B is impossible.

Answer from: angelvega2003

The answer is b. Demand is unit elastic, and a decrease in price causes an increase in revenue

Explanation:

If a demand is unit elastic, any changes in price has no impact on the total revenue. Any changes in price will be balanced by any equivalent changes in quantity but in the opposite direction. So, revenue which is a product of price and quantity demanded will remain constant or unchanged that is ( i.e) there will be no change in revenue.

Take for example, if a price falls by 10%, demand increases by 10% and vice-versa, no change in total revenue as total revenue is a product of price and quantity.

The demand function will be PQ=K where P is price, Q is Quantity and K is a constant so any change in P is matched by Q so that product ( total revenue) remains the same as K

So with this explanation above option b is not possible

German brothels recently began offering a monthly subscription service for multiple purchasers. if you thought that the brothels' encouragement of prostitution was immoral to begin with, would you consider this pricing plan to be even more immoral? suppose a particular patron at a german brothel has the following willingness-to-pay schedule for services at the brothel, per session. session willingness to pay 1st $84 2nd $72 3rd $60 4th $48 5th $36 6th $24 suppose this consumer would not demand any more sessions, even for free. also assume that the marginal cost to the brothel, per session, is constant at $12. at a price of $78.00 per session, the number of sessions demanded by this consumer would be . at this price and quantity, consumer surplus is $ and producer surplus is $ . suppose the brothel has devised a new pricing scheme for consumers who demand more than 1 session. this pricing scheme is a subscription service, whereby consumers can pay a flat fee of $259.20 and can have up to 6 sessions total. using this subscription pricing model, this consumer would demand sessions. under this scenario, consumer surplus is $ and producer surplus is $ . (hint: for consumer surplus, consider how much total value the consumer places on all sessions, versus the total price paid.)
