The demand function for a certain metal is q - 200- 5p, where p is the price per pound and is the quantity demanded (in pounds) Hint: the elasticity of demand function is: Ry=200-SP EGP) DO) It is elastic if E() > 1; it is inelastic if E() < 1. (a) (3 points) Determine the elasticity of demand function (p). The function 5 TOP is elastic EP) 71 200 (b). Determine the elasticity of demand at p = 15. Classify it as elastic or inelastie.
