Given this Price and Quantity demanded schedule I am asked to use the midpoint method to
determine the absolute value for price elasticity when the price falls from $50 dollars to $100 dollars I think I have the correct answer but it gets me a little bit confused when they say price falls 50 to 100 I just want to make sure I am calculating this properly so here I will show my work could you please check it for accuracy
Price Quantity
$250 0
200 30
150 70
100 110
$50 150
Free 190 units
110-150 over .5(110+150) all over 100-50 over .5(100-50) I get -40/130 or -.3076
50/75 or .6666
so if I am doing my math correctly -.3076 divided by .6666 equals -.46 they ask for the absolute value so I think the answer is .46 is that right??
the other choices include 4.6 and 5.3 and .36
