Total expenditures depends on the quantity multiplied by the 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)
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.
Dividing the change in demand for the product by its change in price. e=(change in demand)%/(change in price)%
When the price falls and the demand is elastic ie. ed >1 the total expenditure increases according to the total outlay method.
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.

formula for the arc elasticity of demand
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.
Dividing the change in demand for the product by its change in price. e=(change in demand)%/(change in price)%
When the price falls and the demand is elastic ie. ed >1 the total expenditure increases according to the total outlay method.

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.
when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
under total otlay method basically there are 3 other sub methods with the help of which you can calculate the price elasticity of demand.they are: elasticity greater than unity...ep>1 elasticity less than unity,,,,,,,ep<1 elasticity equals to unity....ep=1
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:
