Answer:

55.58

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Initial demand per month, Q₁ = 3

Final demand per month, Q₂ = 5

Initial price, P₁ = $33,200

Final price, P₂ = $33,500

Now,

elasticity of demand using midpoint method is calculated as :

= \frac{\textup{percent change in demand}}{\textup{percent change in supply}}

or

= \frac{\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{\frac{Q_1+Q_2}{2}}}{\frac{P_2-P_1}{\frac{P_1+P_2}{2}}}

on substituting the respective values, we get

= \frac{\frac{5-3}{\frac{5+3}{2}}}{\frac{33,500-33,200}{\frac{33,200+33,500}{2}}}

or

= \frac{\frac{2}{4}}{\frac{300}{\frac{66,700}{2}}}

or

= \frac{0.5}{\frac{300}{33,350}}

= 55.58
