Cresco Labs is the largest cannabis producer in the U.S.A. Let's assume the Cresco Labs finds that total revenue decreased when price of marijuana was lowered from $5 to $4 per ounce. It was also found that total revenue decreased when price was raised from $5 to $6 per ounce. Thus, we can conclude that: Multiple Choice   $5 is not the equilibrium price of marijuana.    the demand for marijuana is inelastic above $5 and elastic below $5.   the demand for marijuana is elastic both above and below $5.   the demand for marijuana is elastic above $5 and inelastic below $5.   it is clear that diminishing marginal utility for the consumption of marijuana has set in.
