What is the formula for calculating elasticity?
From the data in Table 5.5 about demand for smart phones, calculate the price elasticity of demand from: point B to point C, point D to point E, and point G to point H. Classify the elasticity at each point as elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic.
Points | P | Q |
A | 60 | 3,000 |
B | 70 | 2,800 |
C | 80 | 2,600 |
D | 90 | 2,400 |
E | 100 | 2,200 |
F | 110 | 2,000 |
G | 120 | 1,800 |
H | 130 | 1,600 |
