The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand between the points (Q = 6, P...
Suppose that the per-unit price of good X is fixed at $5. When the price of good Y equals $8, the quantity demanded of good X is 12. When the price of good Y rises to $10, the quantity demanded of good X falls to 10. The cross-price elasticity of demand for good X with respect to the price of good Y between these two points, calculated using the midpoint formula, equals O 0.82 O -0.82 O 1.22 0 -1.22

The equation for a demand curve is P = 48 – 3Q. What is the elasticity in moving from a quantity of 5 to a quantity of 6? Please use the midpoint method below to answer this question. **Price elasticity of demand here should be by the absolute value.**
1 Price Elasticity of Demand and Price Elasticity of Supply The table shows the price and quantity demanded for backpacks. Using the Midpoint Method, what is the price elasticity of demand between points and D? Note: Remember to take the absolute value of the result and round to the nearest hundredth. If using a calculator, rounding should be done at the end of your calculation Point Price Quantity $158.000 A B C D E 816 7,500 817 7,000 $186,500 $19...
9. Suppose you calculate the price elasticity of demand for a certain good and you report that the elasticity 18 V.O. The fact that the elasticity is a positive number means that a. when the price of the good increases, the quantity demanded increases in response. b. demand for the good is elastic. c. you have dropped the minus sign and reported the absolute value of the elasticity d. the good has close substitutes and/or the good is a luxury....
