You start a business making decorative reusable water bottles. Suppose the demand for the bottles is modeled by the equation q = V15 – 2p where p is the price per bottle and q is the number of bottles sold per week. Suppose that your cost of materials for each bottle is 3 dollars. a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when p = 3. Write a sentence explaining what this means in terms of the demand and the price. b) Find the range of prices for which demand is inelastic (assume p < 0) c) Find the price that would maximize your revenue. d) Find the price that would maximize your profit. (Include steps justifying that this is a maximum).
