Texts: Question 1, 3.7.1 Part 4 of 4
For the demand function q = Dp = 496 - p, find the following:
a) The elasticity.
b) The elasticity at p = 85, stating whether the demand is elastic, inelastic, or has unit elasticity.
c) The value of p for which total revenue is a maximum (assume that p is in dollars).
E(p) = 496 - p
b) Find the elasticity at the given price, stating whether the demand is elastic, inelastic, or has unit elasticity.
E(85) = 411 (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 of p for which total revenue is a maximum (assume that p is in dollars).
