  1. DRQ #4AGEC 317 4pts September 12, 2013 • Given the demand function, Q = 8000 – 400P: (½pt) (a) What is the inverse demand function? (½pt) (b) Derive the expression for total revenue in terms of quantity. (½pt) (c) Calculate the general expression for the own-price elasticity in terms of P and Q. (½pt) (d) If P = $7, what is the own-price elasticity? (½pt) (e) Is the demand for the commodity inelastic or elastic?
