Steve sells hotdogs from a vending cart downtown. The table above shows his total revenue per day at four different prices. Between which two prices is the demand for hotdogs
a) elastic?
b) unit elastic?
c) inelastic?
a) Steve's demand is elastic between $1.50 and $1.75. In this range, when Steve raises his price from $1.50 to $1.75 per hot dog, his total revenue falls, which means that the demand is elastic.
b) Steve's demand is unit elastic between $1.25 and $1.50. In this range, when Steve raises his price from $1.25 to $1.50 per hot dog, his total revenue does not change, which means that the demand is unit elastic.
c) Steve's demand is inelastic between $1.00 and $1.25. In this range, when Steve raises his price from $1.00 to $1.25 per hot dog, his total revenue rises, which means that the demand is inelastic.
