Let $p$ represent the price per unit item sold and let $q$ represent the total quantity sold. We are interested in determining if the total revenue $R$, defined as $R = p \cdot q$, exceeds $500.
Statement (1): When the price per unit item increased by $10, the total quantity sold decreased by 20 units, and the new total revenue was $480.
Statement (2): The total quantity sold remains greater than or equal to 40 units for any price per unit item.
