    Sale price

    Explanation:

    Depending on the price elasticity of demand (PED) of the products that WidgetCo sells, a decrease in the selling price of their products might increase the total units sold in a larger proportion, resulting in an increase in total revenue.

    PED refers to the proportional change in the quantity demanded for a product when the price changes by 1%.

    PED = % quantity demanded / % change in price

    If PED > 1, the demand is elastic. If PED < 1, the demand is inelastic. If PED = 1, unit demand.

    When a product's demand is elastic, a small change in the price will cause a larger change in the quantity demanded.

    If the PED of WidgetCo's products is elastic, then it can increase total revenue by lowering the sale price or their products.
