Answer:

Explanation:

Pizza quantity Change = 60-50 = 10

Income change = $12000 - $10000 = $2000

Mid point of Quantity of Pizza = (50+60)/2 = 55

Mid point of income =  ($12000 + $10000)/2 = $11000

Income elasticity = 10*11,000/2000*55 = 110,000/110,000=1

Pizza is a unit elastic normal good, because percentage change in income = % change in pizza quantity
