Is it always true When demand elasticity is equal to -1 marginal revenue is equal to 0?

Yes, when demand elasticity is equal to -1 (unitary elasticity), marginal revenue is indeed equal to 0. This occurs because, at this point, any change in quantity sold does not affect total revenue; increases or decreases in quantity will offset price changes, resulting in no net change in revenue. Thus, when elasticity is -1, the firm maximizes total revenue, leading to marginal revenue being zero.

Why does a demand curve downwards from left to right?

A demand curve slopes downward left to right because the relationship between price and demand is negative - as price drops demand rises. The opposite is true for a supply curve where as price rises supply rises - the relationship is positive so the supply curve slopes upward from left to right. Nova net answer- because demand decreases as price increases

Price inelasticity of demand?

The elasticity of demand is related to the slope of the demand curve, but is not the same. The steeper the demand curve is the more the consumers "must" have the good. Lifesaving medicine, for example, has a very steep demand curve because producers can raise the price without appreciably decreasing the quantity demanded. Goods like this are inelastic. Goods with many alternates, like potato chips, are elastic. If the price is raised, consumers will purchase alternates instead, like pretzels.
