Answer: -0.5

Explanation:

From the information given,

Demand curve = P = 600 – Q

Supply curve = P = 0.5Q

Equilibrium = Qd = Qs

Therefore, 600 - Q = 0.5Q

600 = Q + 0.5Q

600 = 1.5Q

Q = 600/1.5

Q = 400

Since P = 600 - Q

P = 600 - 400

P = 200

Price elasticity will be:

= (dQ/dP) × (P/Q)

=(-1) × (200/400).

= -1 × 0.5

= -0.5

The price elasticity is -0.5
