Suppose the demand for a Czech novel translated into English is perfectly inelastic. Assume the initial price of the translated novel is $26.00 and the quantity demanded is 695 copies per year. If the price of the translated novel increases by $2.00, then the quantity demanded will be [ ] copies per year.

Step 1
When demand is perfectly inelastic, it means that the quantity demanded does not change regardless of changes in price. This is represented by a vertical demand curve. Show more…

An Economics Application: Elasticity of Demand
For the demand function q = D(p) = ∔463 - p, find the following. a) The elasticity b) The elasticity at p = 99, stating whether the demand is elastic, inelastic or has unit elasticity c) The value(s) of p for which total revenue is a maximum (assume that p is in dollars) a) Find the equation for elasticity. E(p) = b) Find the elasticity at the given price, stating whether the demand is elastic, inelastic or has unit elasticity. E(99) = (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a fraction.) Is the demand elastic, inelastic, or does it have unit elasticity? elastic unit elasticity inelastic c) Find the value(s) of p for which total revenue is a maximum (assume that p is in dollars). $ (Round to the nearest cent.
