Using the midpoint formula, calculate the price elasticity of demand given the following information: Price Quantity Demanded Point A $75 1,500 Point B $100 1,000 1 0.8 0.05 1.4

Kevin O’Leary suggests that Jenn and Kelley decrease the price of their product by 50% and sell 10 times as many. That is, he predicts if they drop the price of their product from $40 to $20, they will increase their quantity demanded from 6,000 to 60,000. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for Pursecases using the midpoint formula from this information.

Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows: a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizza increases from 8 dollar to 10 dollar if (i) your income is 20,000 dollar and (ii) your income is 24,000 dollar. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from 20,000 dollar to 24,000 dollar if (i) the price is 12 dollar and (ii) the price is 16 dollar.
