Ans: D ) 1.5
Explanation:
Initial price ( P1) = $21
New price ( P2 )= $15
Initial quantity ( Q1) = 600 pairs
New quantity ( Q2) = 1000 pairs
PED = ∆Q/∆P *( P1 + P2 / Q1 + Q2)
= {( 1000 - 600 ) / ( 15 - 21) } * { ( 21 + 15 ) / ( 600 + 1000)}
= ( 400 / - 6 ) * ( 36 / 1600)
= - 66.67 * 0.0225
= - 1.5 or 1.5 ( absolute value)

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....
When price rises from $10 to $15, the quantity demanded decreases from 100 to 70. Calculate the price elasticity of demand using the midpoint formula Suppose the demand for roses increases from 500 to 600 stems when income rises from $10,000 to $20,000. Calculate the income elasticity for roses using the midpoint formula.
