The price elasticity of demand for tickets to local baseball games is estimated to be equal to 0.89. in order to boost ticket revenues, an economist would advise: a. increasing the price of game tickets because demand is inelastic. b. not changing the price of game tickets because demand is unit elastic. c. increasing the price of game tickets because demand is elastic. d. decreasing the price of game tickets because demand is elastic.

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand for tickets to a baseball game is 0.89. This means that the demand is relatively inelastic.

Relatively inelastic demand means that a change in price will lead to a less than proportionate change in quantity demanded.

So at this point, if the price of tickets is increased, the decrease in price will be less than proportionate. This will lead to an increase in revenue and hence profits.

So to increase the revenue price of tickets should be increased.

answer/// equals both average variable cost and average total cost at their respective minimums;
