1. Compute the price elasticity of demand between these two points. Let quantity demanded = Q‚ Q1= 400 meals/day‚ and Q2= 450 meals/day Let price = P‚ P1= $20‚ and P2= $18 The change in quantity demanded = Q2-Q1 = 450-400= 50 The change in price = P2-P1= $18-$20= -2 The average in demand = (Q2+Q1)/2= (450+400)/2= 850/2=425 The average in price = (P2+P1)/2 = (18+20)/2 =38/2= 19 The percentage change in quantity demand = change in quantity demanded/the average in quantity demand =50/425 = 0.1174 =
