Suppose the price of salt rises from $0.20 per pound to $0.60 per pound. As a result, the quantity of salt demanded decreases from 21 million pounds to 19 million pounds.
a. In the scenario above, what is the arc elasticity of demand for salt (absolute value) in this price range?
b. In the scenario above, assuming that the demand curve is a straight line, what is the price elasticity of demand (absolute value) at the point where the price is $0.20 per pound?
