Question

The price of a good falls from $15 to $13. Given this decline in price, the quantity demanded of the good rises from 100 units to 120 units. The arc price elasticity of demand for the good is closest to: 
A. 1.3.
B. 1.5.
C. 10.0.
 

Answer = A 
Arc price elasticity of demand is calculated as: %ΔQ/%ΔP = (ΔQ/Qavg) / (ΔP/Pavg).In this case, (20/110)/(2/14) = 1.27 rounded to 1.3.
