The demand for seats at a mini soccer match is given by
π=150βπ
2
,
Q=150βP2,
whereΒ π
QΒ is the number of seats andΒ π
PΒ is the price per seat. Find the price elasticity of demand if seats costΒ π 4
R4Β each. What does this value mean?
a.
ππ=β0,24;inelastic since|ππ
|<1,a1%price increase will result in0,24%less seats to be sold
Ξ΅d=β0,24;inelastic since|Ξ΅d|<1,a1%price increase will result in0,24%less seats to be sold
b.
ππ=0,24;elastic since|ππ
|>0,a1%price increase will result in0,24%more seats to be sold
Ξ΅d=0,24;elastic since|Ξ΅d|>0,a1%price increase will result in0,24%more seats to be sold

Ξ΅d=β16,75;elastic since|Ξ΅d|>1,a1%price increase will result in16,75%less seats to be sold
d.
