The demand curve for a product is given by QXd = 1,200 - 3PX - 0.1PZ where Pz = $300. a. What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = $140? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? What would happen to the firm’s revenue if it decided to charge a price below $140? Instruction: Enter your response rounded to two decimal places. Own price elasticity: Demand is: If the firm prices below $140, revenue will: b....
