Macmillan Learning You have been appointed head of marketing for Barry's Younique Yachts. Barry, the CEO, is interested in determining whether offering his yachts at a lower price would increase the firm's revenue. He asks you for advice. Using your knowledge of elasticity, you should tell Barry that he should increase his prices.
