When Demand is perfectly elastic, Marginal Revenue is identical with price.
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.
elastic
when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
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.
Either elastic or inelastic
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.
When demand is elastic, the price elasticity of demand is greater than one (|E| > 1). In this scenario, a decrease in price leads to a proportionally larger increase in quantity demanded, resulting in an increase in total revenue. Marginal revenue (MR) can be calculated as the change in total revenue divided by the change in quantity; since total revenue increases with a price decrease, MR remains positive but is less than the price. Mathematically, if the price (P) is $10 and the quantity demanded increases significantly due to a price drop, MR would be positive but less than $10, confirming that demand is elastic.
Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) measures how sensitive the quantity demanded of a good is to a change in its price. When demand is elastic (PED > 1), a decrease in price leads to a proportionally larger increase in quantity demanded, resulting in an increase in total revenue. Conversely, when demand is inelastic (PED < 1), a decrease in price results in a smaller increase in quantity demanded, leading to a decrease in total revenue. If demand is unitary elastic (PED = 1), total revenue remains unchanged when prices change.
