Expert Solution

Old price elasticity of demand = - 5.76

New price elasticity of demand = - 3.76

Old price = $ 240

We can use the following formula to determine the marginal cost.

In case of old elasticity of demand (use the absolute value of elasticity)

Now in case of new elasticity the same value of MC can be used.

New price = $ 270.19
