In an article about the financial problems of USA Today, Newsweek reported that the

paper was losing about $20 million a year. A Wall Street analyst said that the paper

should raise its price from 50 cents to 75 cents, which he estimated would bring in an

additional $65 million a year. The paper's publisher rejected the idea, saying that circulation

could drop sharply after a price increase, citing The Wall Street Journal's experience

after it increased its price to 75 cents. What implicit assumptions are the publisher

and the analyst making about price elasticity?
