If a producer determines that the demand for one of its products is inelastic, the most likely reason for raising the price of that product is:
**The firm’s total revenues would probably increase.**
Inelastic demand means that consumers are not very responsive to price changes; that is, even if the price rises, the quantity demanded will not decrease significantly. Since the firm can raise its prices without losing a substantial number of customers, it can increase its total revenues by opting to charge higher prices.
