For any given change in the price(rise or fall), where demand is elastic there is a more than proportionate change in quantity demanded. When the price elasticity of demand for a good is elastic (|Ed| > 1), the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than that in price. Hence, when the price is raised, the total revenue of producers falls, and vice versa.
there are two possible things, if the demand is elastic an increase in price will lead to to decrease the total revenue (as more people will highly respond to your price change). and if the demand is inelastic the price increasing will make the total revenue increasing ( less people respond to your highly new charged price)
Price elasticity of demand is used to determine how changes in price will effect total revenue. If demand is elastic(>1) a change in price will result in the opposite change in total revenue.(+P=-TR) When demand is unit elastic(=1) a change in price wont change total revenue. If demand is inelastic a change in price will result in a change in total revenue in the same direction.(+P=+TR)
on the linear demand curve, demand is elastic at price above the point of unitary elasticity so a price increase will decrease the total revenue.
I assume that when you say "elasticity," you mean "price elasticity of demand."Raise price a little. If total revenue goes up, you're in the INELASTIC region (where absolute value of elasticity is greater than 1). If it goes down, you're in the ELASTIC region.
According to this method the degree of elasticity of demand is measured by comparing firm's revenue from consumer's total outlay on the goods before the change in the price with after the change in the price.
It can be used to calculate quantity sold to optimise profit, since the price elasticity of demand, multiplied by revenue, describes the total change in revenue (MR) per unit sold.

when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
calculate the following price elasticity of for a price increase from $5-6, 6-7, 7-8 and verify your answer using the total revenue approach:

decrease
if a price cut decreases total revenue, demand is elastic. if a price cut decreases total revenue, demand is inelastic. if a price cut leaves total revenue unchanged, demand is unit elastic.
