Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticity of demand for Good X using the following information: When the price of good X is $50, the quantity demanded of good X is 400 units. When the price of good X rises to $60, the quantity demanded of good X falls to 300 units.

A. The price elasticity of demand for good X = 0.64.

B. The price elasticity of demand for good X = 1.57.

(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of $1 per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve.
