Demand for the product elastic or inelastic


Bob's Lamps manufactures small lamps and is considering raising the price by 20 cents a unit for the coming year. With a 20-cent price increase, demand is expected to fall by 3,000 units.

Currently Projected
Demand 20,000 units 17,000 units
Selling price $4.80 $5.00
Incremental cost per unit $3.00 $3.00

If the price increase is implemented, how will this change operating profit?

Would you recommend the 20-cent price increase? Why or why not?

Is the demand for this product elastic or inelastic? How can you tell?
