## Step 1<br />The total revenue test is a method used to determine the elasticity of demand for a good. The elasticity of demand is a measure of how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in its price.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />When the total revenue test is negative, it means that a decrease in price (a price cut) leads to a decrease in total revenue. This indicates that the demand for the good is inelastic. Inelastic demand means that the quantity demanded does not respond significantly to changes in price.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />On the other hand, when the total revenue test is positive, it means that a decrease in price (a price cut) leads to an increase in total revenue. This indicates that the demand for the good is elastic. Elastic demand means that the quantity demanded responds significantly to changes in price.
