Elasticity of demand can help us decide which prices are suitable for the products we sell. If a price is inelastic even when the price goes up, it tells the business that they can increase the price if they want however if the price is elastic, it will change drastically when prices go up. This means businesses would have to find the equilibrium price where demand and supply meets in the middle.

We know the sales price ($200/unit).

We know the cost of production ($120/unit)

That can be modeled like this:

200x - 120x = 500000 (sales price - cost price to get 500K)

we simplify and solve:

80x = 500000 (making $80 profit for each unit)

x = 6,250 units

Abner Corp needs to sell at 6,250 units to break even.
