For the demand function D = 100 – `"p"^2/2`. Find the elasticity of demand at p = 6 and comment on the results.
उत्तर
Given, demand function is D = 100 - `"p"^2/2`
∴ `"dD"/"dp" = 0 - "2p"/2 = -"p"`
`eta = (-"p")/"D" * "dD"/"dp"`
∴ `eta = (-"p")/(100 - "p"^2/2) * (- "p")`
`= "p"^2/((200 - "p"^2)/2)`
∴ `eta = "2p"^2/(200 - "p"^2)`
When p = 6,
`eta = (2(6)^2)/(200 - (6)^2) = 72/164 = 18/41`
∴ elasticity of demand at p = 6 is `18/41`
Here, η > 0
∴ The demand is inelastic.

A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which revenue is increasing
Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 – x
Revenue R = `square`
Differentiating w.r.t. x,
∴ `("dR")/("d"x) = square`
Since Revenue is increasing,
∴ `("dR")/("d"x)` > 0
∴ Revenue is increasing for `square`
A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which profit is increasing
Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 − x
Profit π = R – C
∴ π = `square`
Differentiating w.r.t. x,
`("d"pi)/("d"x)` = `square`
Since Profit is increasing,
`("d"pi)/("d"x)` > 0
∴ Profit is increasing for `square`
A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which elasticity of demand for price ₹ 80.
Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 – x
p = 120 – x
∴ x = 120 – p
Differentiating w.r.t. p,
`("d"x)/("dp")` = `square`
∴ Elasticity of demand is given by η = `- "P"/x*("d"x)/("dp")`
∴ η = `square`
When p = 80, then elasticity of demand η = `square`
