MR = 0.<\/p>\n<p>Marginal revenue (MR) is the additional revenue that a firm earns from selling one more unit of its product. It is calculated by taking the derivative of total revenue (TR) with respect to quantity (Q).<\/p>\n<p>Price elasticity of demand (e) is a measure of how responsive consumers are to changes in price. It is calculated by taking the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.<\/p>\n<p>When e = 1, demand is unit elastic. This means that a 1% increase in price will lead to a 1% decrease in quantity demanded. In this case, marginal revenue will be equal to zero.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a diagram that illustrates the relationship between price, marginal revenue, and elasticity of demand:<\/p>\n<p>[Diagram of a demand curve with a price elasticity of demand of 1]<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, when the price elasticity of demand is equal to 1, the demand curve is a straight line. This means that the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the percentage change in price. In this case, marginal revenue will be equal to zero.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A: MR &gt; 0. This is not possible when e = 1. When e = 1, demand is unit elastic. This means that a 1% increase in price will lead to a 1% decrease in quantity demanded. In this case, marginal revenue will be equal to zero.<\/li>\n<li>Option B: MR &lt; 0. This is possible when e &lt; 1. When e &lt; 1, demand is inelastic. This means that a 1% increase in price will lead to a less than 1% decrease in quantity demanded. In this case, marginal revenue will be negative.<\/li>\n<li>Option C: MR = 0. This is possible when e = 1. When e = 1, demand is unit elastic. This means that a 1% increase in price will lead to a 1% decrease in quantity demanded. In this case, marginal revenue will be equal to zero.<\/li>\n<li>Option D: MR = 1. This is not possible. Marginal revenue can never be greater than price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;MR > 0&#8243; option2=&#8221;MR < 0\" option3=\"MR = 0\" option4=\"MR = 1\" correct=\"option3\"]\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-economics","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Price, Marginal Revenue and Elasticity are related to each other.
