A rice farmer in Japan analyzed the sales data. The data showed that when the product price (per unit) shifted from 1500 yen to 1000 yen, the quantity increased from 350 units to 400 units. From the price elasticity of demand perspective, the farmer should set (Q6) the unit price. (Assume that other things such as macroeconomic or time-trend factors are equal and do not impact on the demand and thus the farmer's pricing.) Q6 1. Higher 2. O Lower
