When the price of a book is $125, a book store can expect to sell 600 books. If the price rises to $150, the demand drops to 520 books.
The elasticity of demand for the book is E =
Is the demand elastic or inelastic?
A demand function is modeled by
x = a / pm
where a is a constant and m > 1.Show that
? = −m.
In other words, show that a 1% increase in price results in an m% decrease in the quantity demanded.
Suppose the demand for a product is q = 1080 – 0.1 p. Determine the price, p, that results in Maximum Revenue.
