Suppose the weekly demand function for a product is given by p = 100e^-0.5q, where p is the price in dollars and q is the number of tons demanded. (a) What is the elasticity of demand when the price is $36.79 and the quantity demanded is 2? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (b) How will a price increase affect total revenue? Since the demand is inelastic, an increase in price will increase the total revenue. Since the demand is elastic, an increase in price will increase the total revenue. Since the demand is inelastic, an increase in price will decrease the total revenue. Since the demand is unitary, there will be no change in the revenue with a price increase. Since the demand is elastic, an increase in price will decrease the total revenue.

Answer the following questions based on the accompanying diagram: Price ($) 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 1 2 3 4 Quantity 5 6 7 Instructions: All dollar responses should be entered as whole numbers. Include a minus (-) sign for all negative answers. a. How much would the firm's revenue change if it lowered the price from $12 to $10? Is demand elastic or inelastic in this range? Revenue change: $ Demand is (Click to select) in this range.

Elasticity: Suppose the weekly demand function for a product is given by p = 100e^(-0.1q) where p is the price in dollars and q is the number of tons demanded. (a) What is the elasticity of demand when the price is $36.79 and the quantity demanded is 10? (b) How will a price increase affect total revenue?
