Answer:

2.20

Explanation:

The Price elasticity will be:

Δdemand/ΔPrice

<u>The mid point is used to calculate the increases.</u>

Δdemand = ΔQ/midpointQ

(Q2+Q1)/2 = mid point quantity = (300+ 200)/2 = 250

ΔQ = 300-200 = 100

Δdemand = 100/250 = 0.4

<u>Same procedure is applied with the Price numbers:</u>

Δprice = ΔP/midpointP

(P2+P1)/2 = mid point price = (3+ 2.5)/2 = 2.75

ΔP = 2.5-3 = 0.5

Δprice = 0.5 / 2.75 = 0.181818

FInally we calculate the price elasticity:

Δdemand/ΔPrice

0.4/0.1818181818 = 2.2
