Suppose that your demand schedule for compact discs is as follows
Suppose that your demand schedule for compact discs is as follows:
PRICE QUANTITY DEMANDED(INCOME $10,000) QUANTITY DEMANDED (INCOME $12,000)
$ 8 40 50
10 32 45
12 24 30
14 16 20
16 8 12
a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of compact discs increases from $8 to $10 if
(i) your income is $10,000, and
(ii) your income is $12,000.
b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from $10,000 to $12,000 if
(i) the price is $12, and
(ii) the price is $16.
