3. Profit Maximization with Limited Information. Joe Holiday is a monopoly provider of Fishing Reels in a remote fishing village on a barrier island off the Gulf Coast. Currently he is selling is BassMaster reels for $50 each. Joe doesn't know the precise demand function for fishing reels, but he estimates price elasticity of demand to be -2. If the reels cost Joe $30 each, is he maximizing profits? If not, what would be the profit maximizing price? Is $50 a profit maximizing price? Y/N (circle one) Profit Maximizing Price
