Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the initial and new prices from the demand schedule: the initial price is $400 and the new price is $350.
Find the quantity demanded at the initial price of $400, which is 30 units, and at the new price of $350, which is 35 units.
Calculate the total revenue at the initial price by multiplying the price by the quantity demanded: Total Revenue at $400 = $400 * 30.
Calculate the total revenue at the new price by multiplying the price by the quantity demanded: Total Revenue at $350 = $350 * 35.
Compare the total revenues calculated in the previous steps to determine the change in total revenue as the price falls from $400 to $350.
