Best Answer

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.

What is linear demand function and it relevant to a firm?

A linear demand function means that any change in the price of the output will have the same effect on the quantity demanded, whatever the price was. It has little relevance to a firm since the demand function is never really linear.

Does the ceteris paribus assumption affect a demand curve?

It isolates factors and only looks at one cause and effect at a time. This is why the demand curve is a linear equation (straight line). It wouldn't be possible in real life.

What is difference between slope and the calculation of elasticity for a linear demand curve?

Along a linear demand curve elasticity varies from point to point of the demand curve with respect to different price, but slope is constant


Can the rate of change be linear or nonlinear?

Yes, the rate of change can be linear or non-linear.


Is price elasticity constant along demand curves?

explain why the price elasticity of demand varies along a demand curve, even if the demand curve is linear.


Why demand curve is convex?

Convex function on an open set has no more than one minimum. In demand it shows the elasticity is linear after some point and non linear on other points.
