Correct Answer: Will be unity


Solution : Elasticity is less than one below the midpoint of a straight line demand curve, and the firm wants to raise prices to increase total revenue. Above the midpoint, elasticity exceeds one, and the firm wishes to lower prices in order to increase total revenue. Elasticity is equal to one, or unit elastic, at the midpoint, E1.
As a result, option A is the correct answer.
