16. Refer to the figure above. Over the 5-6 range, the elasticity of supply using the midpoint
formula is:
(60-50)/((60+50)/(2)) = (10)/(66) = (1)/(5.5)

Step 1

To calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded, we use the following formula: Percentage change in quantity demanded = (New quantity demanded - Old quantity demanded) / Old quantity demanded * 100 In this case, the new quantity demanded is 65, and the Show more…
