Question
he demand for a company's e-reader can be approximated by
q(p) = 21e−0.02p million units per year  (20 ≤ p ≤ 500),
where p is the price charged for the e-reader. Obtain a formula for price elasticity of demand E.
E = 
0.02p
 
 
 
Calculate its value at the two endpoints of the given range of prices.
E(20)= E(500)= 
Is the price that would maximize annual revenue within the range of prices shown?
YesNo    
How would you know this without calculating that price?
The value 
E(20)       1
 and 
E(500)       1.
 Therefore the price that would maximize revenue would result in E = 1, and      lie between 20 and 500
