a) Refer to the table above. Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticity of demand when price rises from $12 to $16.
b) Which kind of elasticity did you find? Explain.
c) If price increases from $12 to $16, calculate the total revenue for both price levels.
d) What happens to total revenue when the price increases?
e) Is it consistent with the elasticity that you calculated in part a)? Explain.

Price of candy ($/pack) 4 3 Number of packs purchased per day 300 600 900 1200 1500 (a) Determine the price elasticity of demand for candy when the price of candy increases from $2 to $3 using the midpoint method. Classify the product based on the price elasticity of demand for candy and explain the effect on the...
2 (20 points). Suppose that your demand schedule for compact discs is as follows: Price Quantity Demanded Income-$10,000) 40 Quantity Demanded (Income-$12,000) a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of compact discs increases from $8 to $10 if your income is $12,000 b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from $10,000 to $12,000 if the price is $16 3 (30 points). 9. Consider the following policies, each of...
Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticity of demand of Good X using the following information: When the price of good X is $50, the quantity demanded of good X is 400 units. When the price of good X rises to $60, the quantity demanded of good X falls to 300 units. The price elasticity of demand for good X = 0.64. The price elasticity of demand for good X = 1.57.
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....
