Answer 1

The correct answer is the first option: Higher prices and higher total revenue from marijuana sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with, the fact that the demand would be inelastic would implicate that no matter how much the price rises the variation in the amount of quantity demand would be minimun so that would means that if the price increases then the consumers will keep buying the product and that is why that the total revenue will increase overall. Moreover, if the supply of the product is totally elastic then that would means that the sellers would try to offer the product as much as they can and they would be influenced by the demand as well.
