Nobody State University (NSU) 
Raise or Lower Tuition
Increase in Tuition Fee and Total revenue 
It is the price elasticity of demand that would determine how increase in Tuition fee 
would affect the total revenue of Nobody State University (NSU) i.e. whether the increase in 
Tuition Fee would cause total revenue to increase, decrease or remain same depends on the fact 
that whether the demand is inelastic, elastic or unitary. Price elasticity of demand measures the 
degree of responsiveness in quantity demanded of a good due to change in its price. It is cal 
If demand is elastic (or if absolute value of elasticity is less than one), then proportionate 
decline in quantity demanded of a good (as a result of increase in price) will be larger than 
proportionate increase in its price and therefore in this case, increase in price would cause total 
revenue to fall.  
If demand is inelastic (or if absolute value of elasticity is less than one), then 
proportionate decline in quantity demanded of a good (as a result of increase in price) will be 
less than proportionate increase in its price and therefore in this case, increase in price would 
cause total revenue to increase.  
If demand is unitary (or if absolute value of elasticity is equal to one), then proportionate 
decline in quantity demanded of a good (as a result of increase in price) will be equal to 
proportionate increase in its price and therefore in this case, increase in price would cause no 
change in the total revenue.
Conditions under which revenue will (a) rise, (b) fall, or (c) remain the same 
As explained above, if demand is elastic, increase in the tuition fee would cause total 
revenue to fall; if demand is inelastic, increase in the tuition fee would cause total revenue to 
increase; or if demand is unitary, increase in the tuition fee would cause no change in the total 
revenue of Nobody State University (NSU).
