Elasticity of demand influenced tax revenues
Price elasticity of demand is a way to determine marginal revenue. Optimal revenue and, more importantly, optimal profit will occur to the point when marginal revenue = marginal cost, or the price elasticity of demand < 1.
marginal revenue is negative where demand is inelastic

The conclusion of the price of elasticity of demand is the effect of price change based on the revenue it receives. It is based off the demand of the product and the price of the product.

Elasticity of demand in the steel industry is inelastic. The price of steel can fluctuate and the demand will remain constant. As a result, as price moves, revenue will move in the same direction.
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)
If the cost of supply falls for each unit of supply (a shift of the supply curve right), the change in price depends on the price elasticity of demand: Price is unchanged when price elasticity of demand is infinite. Price falls when price elasticity of demand is less than infinite.
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.
Cross elasticity of demand is sometimes written as XED. In business the cross elasticity of demand is important because it will help determine whether or not it is a good move to increase or decrease prices or to substitute one product for another for the purpose of revenue.
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.
