Worldwide annual sales of smartphones over a five year period were projected to be approximately q = ?10p + 4,380 million phones at a selling price of $p per phone. (a) Obtain a formula for the price elasticity of demand E. E = (b) In one year the actual selling price was $285 per phone. What was the corresponding price elasticity of demand? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) E = Interpret your answer. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) The demand was going by about % per 1% increase in price at that price level. (c) Use your formula for E to determine the selling price that would have resulted in the largest annual revenue. $ What, to the nearest $10 million, would have been the resulting annual revenue? $ million

Worldwide annual sales of smartphones over a two year period were approximately q = -5p + 3,050 million phones at a selling price of $p per phone. (a) Obtain a formula for the price elasticity of demand E. E = 5p / (-5p + 3050) (b) In one of the years the actual selling price was $375 per phone. What was the corresponding price elasticity of demand? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) E = 1.60 Interpret your answer. The demand was going down by about 1.60 % per 1% increase in price at that price level. (c) Use your formula for E to determine the selling price that would have resulted in the largest annual revenue. $ 375.38 What would have been the resulting annual revenue? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) $ (No Response) billion
