Revenue Impact of a Price Change
A company sells a product for which consumer demand is known to be 'inelastic,' meaning the quantity people want to buy is not very sensitive to price changes. The company's management is considering a 5% increase in the product's price. Analyze the likely impact of this price increase on the company's total revenue. Explain your reasoning by describing the relationship between the price change and the change in the quantity of goods sold.
