Liberty Hill · Answer 1

The correct answer is c. the resulting increase in price is proportionately greater than decrease in quantity sold.

Explanation:

if supply decreases and the supply curve shifts to the left the equilibrium price is likely to increase. An increase in revenue after an increase in price would mean that an increase in price is proportionately greater than a decrease in quantity sold.
