One week later, the number of customers enrolled in Verizon's cellular plans declined 4 percent in those states, while enrollments in states where prices were not increased remained flat. The manager used this information to estimate the own price elasticity of demand and, based on her findings, immediately increased prices in all market areas by 5 percent in an attempt to boost the company's 2020 annual revenues. One year later, the manager was perplexed because Verizon's 2020 annual revenues were 10 percent lower than those in 2019-the price increase apparently led to a reduction in the company's revenues.
