Answer:
At what price is revenue maximum?
- $13 and $12 per unit (maximum revenue $156,000)
What is the maximum revenue and how many sets of headphones should the company expect to sell?
Write your conclusions in a sentence.
- When the price is higher than $12 per unit, demand is elastic, which means any decrease in price will result in a larger proportional increase in quantity demanded. This in turn increases total revenue. Below $12 per unit, demand is inelastic, which means that a decrease in price will result in a smaller increase in quantity demanded.

False.
If the price of a product goes up by 10% and the quantity demanded goes up by 20% the product is a GIFFEN GOOD.
An inferior good is a good that decreases in demand if income increases. These are the goods that people opt not to buy when their purchasing power increases.
