In response to a change in the price of good x from $10 to $6, the quantity demanded of good x increases from 100 to 150 units. what is the price elasticity of demand for good x? (use the midpoint formula and express as a decimal - e. g. 0.2)

- 0.80

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand describes the extent to which the quantity demanded of good X changes as result of a change in its own price.

The midpoint formula for price elasticity of demand is presented and used as follows:

Percentage change in quantity = %ΔQ = [Q2 - Q1] / [(Q2 + Q1) ÷ 2] × 100

Percentage change in quantity = %ΔP = [P2 - P1] / [(P2 + P1) ÷ 2] × 100

Midpoint price elasticity of demand = %ΔQ / %ΔP

Where:

Q2 = New quantity of good X = 150

Q1 = Initial quantity of good X = 100

P2 = New price of good X = $6

P1 = Initial price of good X = $10

Therefore,

Percentage change in quantity = %ΔQ = [150 - 100] / [(150 + 100) ÷ 2] × 100

= [50/(250 ÷ 2)] × 100

= (50/125) × 100

= 40.00%

Percentage change in quantity = %ΔP = [$6 - $10] / [($6 + $10) ÷ 2] × 100

= [-$4/($16 ÷ $2)] × 100

= (-$4/$8) × 100

= - 50.00%

Price elasticity of demand = 40% / 50% = - 0.80

The elasticity of demand of -0.80 less than 1. That indicate that the quantity demand is inelastic. That is the change in the degree of change in the quantity demanded of good X is lower than the degree of change in its price.

Areal estate agent is considering changing her cell phone plan. there are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. plan a has a cost of $.42 a minute for daytime calls and $.17 a minute for evening calls. plan b has a charge of $.52 a minute for daytime calls and $.15 a minute for evening calls. plan c has a flat rate of $80 with 275 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.38 per minute beyond that, day or evening. a. determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 150 minutes of day calls and 70 minutes of evening calls in a month. (do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to 2 decimal places. omit the "$" sign in your response.)c. if the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (round each answer to the nearest whole number. include the indifference point itself in each answer.)d. suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. at what point (i. e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans a and b?
