Question

(c) Lara offers 100 autograph bats. If each is priced at p dollars, it is that the demand curve for the bast will be p = 250 −q/4.  

If price elasticily is E(p) = dq/q divided by dp/p.

When |E(p)| < 1, demand is inelastic and when |E(p)| > 1, demand is elastic.


(i) Find the price elasticity of demand for Lara′ s bats.

(ii) Is demand inelastic or elastic?
