suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows:
price (dollars) | quantity of pizzas demanded (income= $20,000) | quantity of pizzas demanded (income= $24,000) |
8 | 40 | 50 |
10 | 32 | 45 |
12 | 24 | 30 |
14 | 16 | 20 |
16 | 8 | 12 |
Using the midpoint method, your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizzas increase from $14 to $16 is _____ if your income is $20,000 and ______ if your income is $24,000.
if the price of a pizza is $10 your income elasticity of demand is _____ as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000. However if the price of a pizza is $12 your income elasticity is ____?
Using the midpoint method, your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizzas increase from $14 to $16 is (- 5) if your income is $20,000 and (- 3.75) if your income is $24,000.
if the price of a pizza is $10 your income elasticity of demand is (1.86) as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000. However if the price of a pizza is $12 your income elasticity is (1.22).
