The demand for ceiling fans can be modeled as D(p) = 25.02(0.992) thousand ceiling fans where p is the price (in dollars) of a ceiling fan. (a) Locate the point of unit elasticity. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) The point of elasticity occurs when p = $ and D(p) = thousand ceiling fans. (b) For what prices is demand elastic? For what prices is demand inelastic? (Round your numerical answers to two decimal places.) Demand is inelastic for < p < Demand is elastic for p ? ✓

It was observed in a particular supermarket that after the price of good X dropped from 20 pesos to 17.50 pesos, the weekly demand for the said products increased from 150 units to 220 units. Solve for the Price Elasticity of Demand, then identify whether the consumer demand for good X is elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic.
