Answer:
Price elasticity of demand using midpoint method is -1.1282
Explanation:
Formula of price elasticity of demand using midpoint method is as follows:
Price elasticity of demand = (Change in Demand / Average of demands) / (Change in Price / Average of Prices)
Price elasticity of demand = ( 12,500 - 7,000 ) / [( 12500 + 7000 ) /2 ] / ( 3 - 5 )/[( 3 + 5 ) /2]
Price elasticity of demand = (5500 / 9750) / ( -2 / 4)
Price elasticity of demand = 0.5641 / -0.5
Price elasticity of demand = -1.1282
