Revenue (A level BS)

From WikiTextbook

Jump to: navigation, search


A firm’s revenue is calculated using the following formula:


volume of goods sold x average selling price


A business wanting to increase its revenue could raise the price or sell more units. Remember that raising the price of an elastic good will lead to a reduction in revenue and raising the price of an inelastic good will lead to an increase in revenue.


Firms will often adopt one of two approaches:

  • Sell at a low price hoping to attract a high level of sales.
  • Sell at a high price in order to maximise the revenue from the items sold.
