AI Thread Summary
To determine if increasing prices will increase revenue given the demand equation Q = 30 – 3P, one must analyze the relationship between price (P) and quantity demanded (Q). Revenue (R) is calculated as R = P * Q. As price increases, quantity demanded decreases due to the negative relationship in the demand equation. To assess the impact on revenue, one can derive the revenue function from the demand equation, substituting Q into the revenue formula. This analysis will reveal whether higher prices lead to increased revenue or not, depending on the elasticity of demand. Understanding this relationship is crucial for making informed pricing decisions.

Hello~

I new here and I'd like a little help please.

Here is the question:
Suppose demand is given by Q = 30 – 3P. Does this indicate increasing prices increases revenue?

I'm not sure how to go about figuring this out...what should I look for?

Thank you in advance!

Revenue is P*Q, so you take P*Q and you tell me if increasing the price will increase revenue.
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
