Question
Worldwide annual sales of smart phones in over a five-year period were projected to be approximately q=-10p+4440 million phones at a selling price of $P per phone. Obtain a formula for the price of elasticity of demand E. In one particular year the actual selling price was $271 per phone. What was the corresponding price elasticity of demand? Use your formula for E to determine the selling price that would’ve resulted in the largest annual revenue. What, nearest to the nearest 10 million, would have been the resulting annual revenue?
