Suppose the demand (in thousands) for a toaster is given by 100p−2, where p is the price in dollars charged for the toaster. A. If the variable cost of producing a toaster is $10, what price maximizes profit?
B. The elasticity of demand is defined as the percentage change in demand created by a 1% change in price. Build a data table that shows how the demand for toasters varies when the price increases by consecutive 1% increments. Start with a price of $18. Does the elasticity depend on price?C. Would this be true if the demand for toasters were linear in price?
