a. Using the midpoint method, what is the price elasticity of demand from a price of $5.00 to a price of $4.00 per pack of 100 screws

Respuesta :

Answer:

-9.09

Explanation:

Calculation for the price elasticity of demand

Using the midpoint method.

First step is to find the Demand

Demand = (120 - 0)/((120 + 0)/2) = 2

Demand =120/60

Demand =2

Second step is to find the Price

Price = (4 - 5)/((4 + 5)/2)

Price=- 1/4.5

= -0.22

Now let calculate for the price elasticity of demand

Using this formula

Price elasticity of demand =Demand/Price

Let plug in the formula

Price elasticity of demand=2/-0.22

Price elasticity of demand = -9.09

Therefore Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand will be -9.09
