Price elasticity can be calculated using the attached formula where:
the first term represents the % change in quantity and the second term represents the % change in price
% change in quantity = (100-120) / (220/2) = -2/11 x 100 = -18.1818%
% change in price = (7-5) / (12/2) = 33.3333%
price elasticity = 18.1818/33.3333 = 0.55Note that the price elasticity is usually taken as an absolute value.
Answer: A. It has a competitive advantage in the industry

The scenario shows that Water Inc has a competitive advantage in the industry. This is seen as the bottle of water is produced at a cheaper cost wen compared to its rivals.
True. Do not forget that the equilibrium quantity is found when the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied, which must be where the two curves intersect.
