Answer:

PED = 0.67 inelastic demand

you should not lower the price of the book

Explanation:

the midpoint formula for calculating price elasticity of demand = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} /  {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}

PED = {(50 - 40) / [(50 + 40) / 2]} /  {(25 - 35) / [(25 + 35) / 2]} = [10 / (90 / 2)] /  [-10 / (60 / 2)] = (10 / 45) / (-10 / 30) = 0.222 / -0.333 = 0.67

the PED = 0.67 which means that the demand is inelastic

if you lower the price of the book, the increase in number of books sold will be proportionally lower than decrease in price, so you will lose money by doing that.

Jim wants to buy a car, but he’ll probably only need it for a couple of years. He has a short commute to work, so he won’t be pu
svetlana [45]
A motorcycle or scooter would be the best option for Jim. Couple means two, so for two years, buying a very poor car would be the only option as to not go over two years of paying a loan on the car. What would cost Jim most is the fuel. A poor car will get very poor mpg, and short, stop and go, type trips is what takes the most fuel from any given vehicle. Commuting motorcycles and scooters alike can reach over one hundred miles per gallon.  You can pay downward from five thousand dollars for a top of the line scooter if Jim so chooses. 

I hope this helps.
