Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows:

Quantity Demanded Quantity Demanded (income 5 $20,000) (income 5 $24.000) Price .50 pizza $8... ..40 pizza... 10... ..32


a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizza increases from $8 to $10 if

(i) Your income is $20,000 and

(ii) Your income is $24,000.

b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000 if
