Transcript text: The total revenue received by sellers of a good is computed by multiplying the price times the quantity sold.
Solution
The answer is the last one: multiplying the price times the quantity sold.
Explanation for each option:
Dividing the percentage change in quantity by the percentage change in price: This describes the calculation of price elasticity of demand, not total revenue.
Adding the price and the quantity sold: This operation does not make sense in the context of calculating revenue, as price and quantity are different units and cannot be directly added to compute revenue.
Multiplying the percentage change in price times the percentage change in quantity: This is not a valid method for calculating total revenue. It might relate to elasticity concepts but not directly to revenue calculation.
Multiplying the price times the quantity sold: This is the correct method for calculating total revenue. Total revenue is the product of the price per unit and the number of units sold.
