Section B - Case 1: AeroDrone Tech
AeroDrone Tech is an agricultural technology startup developing the 'AgriScout', a drone designed to monitor crop health. Market research indicates that large-scale farms would be willing to pay $1,200 for such a drone. AeroDrone's investors require a profit margin of 20% on the selling price. The current estimated production cost of the AgriScout is $1,050.
AeroDrone's marketing team estimates that at a price of $1,200, demand will be 5,000 units. If the price is increased to $1,300, demand will fall to 4,000 units.
What is the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) for the AgriScout? (Use the basic PED formula: % change in quantity / % change in price)
