03 Jun Pricing2 Constant Elasticity – June’s Free MBTN Tutorial
This month’s free MBTN tutorial addresses pricing decisions under conditions of constant elasticity, and is co-authored by Paul Farris and Phil Pfiefer of the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia. Unlike linear functions, constant elasticity functions exhibit a different slope, but the same elasticity at each point on the curve. This means the slope is changing at a very specific rate to keep elasticity constant. A mathematical equation for this relationships is Q = kP℮ where e is the price elasticity of demand and k is a constant that represents the quantity the firm would sell at a price = $1. Discover how to find the profit maximizing price under these conditions in this month’s tutorial.
Pricing 2 covers the following topics:
– The relationship between price and quantity
– Elastic demand and inelastic demand
– How to calculate the optimal price under conditions of constant elasticity
