Answer:

1.4

Explanation:

Given that

Q1 = 200

P1 = $200

Q2 = 300

P2 = $ 150

Recall that

Midpoint formula = Q2 - Q1/(Q2 + Q1)/2 ÷ P2 - P1/(P2 + P1)/2

= 300 - 200/(300 + 200)/2 ÷ 150 - 200/(150 + 200)/2

= 100/250 ÷ -50/175

= 0.4 ÷ 0.285

= 1.4

Answer:

1.4 elastic

Explanation:

the midpoint formula for calculating price elasticity of demand (PED) is:

PED = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}

PED = {(300 - 200) / [(300 + 200) / 2]} / {(150 - 200) / [(150 + 200) / 2]}

PED = (100 / 250) / (-50 / 175) = 0.4 / -0.29 = -1.4* ⇒ 1.4 price elastic

PED measures how the quantity demanded of a price changes in proportion to a change in its price:

  • PED > 1, price elastic, meaning that a 1% change in price will result in a proportionally larger change in quantity demanded
  • PED < 1, price inelastic, meaning that a 1% change in price will result in a proportionally smaller change in quantity demanded
  • PED = 1, price unit elastic, meaning that a 1% change in price will result in a proportionally equal change in quantity demanded

*PED is measured in absolute terms.

nekit [7.7K]

Consumers determine value of the product on the basis of the opportunity cost to buy the product.

Opportunity cost – in macroeconomic theory, the opportunity cost of one activity is the loss of value or benefit that would be incurred by engaging in that activity, in comparison to engaging in an alternative activity offering better return in value or benefit.

When the consumers calculate the value of product, they look at the benefits and then subtract the cost to see if the benefits exceed the costs.

Therefore the consumers determine value of product on the basis of opportunity cost to buy the product by doing cost benefit analysis.
