Calculate the price elasticity of demand for tomatoes using the midpoint formula if an increase in the price of mangoes $2.00 to $2.80 causes the quantity of tomatoes demanded to fall from 200,000 to 100,000.
Ed= (100,000-200,000)/[(100,000+200,000)/2]
(2.80-2) /[ (2.80+2)/2]
Ed= -100,000/(300,000/2 =-100,000/150,000
0.80/(4.80/2) 0.80/2.40
Ed= -0.66
0.33
Ed= -2 elastic

The weekly quantity of paper supplied for paper is 10 when price is $5,000. When the price of paper increases to $7,000, the quantity supplied increases to 40. Calculate the elasticity of supply using the midpoint formula.
Es= (40-10)/[(40+10)/2]
(7,000-5,000) / [ (7,000+5000)/2]
Es= 30/ ( 50/2) =30/25
2,000/12,000/2 2,000/6000
Es= 1.2
0.33
Es= 3.63 elastic
