Suppose a movie theater raises its ticket prices by 10 and the total revenue it receives in ticket sales doesn't change one bit from the previous week.
 
  What can you say about the price elasticity of demand at that new price? Could this go on indefinitely? In other words, would continued price increases leave total revenue unchanged without bound? Why or why not?
