Answer:

1.      1.22

Explanation:

P = Price of money clip

S = Supply of money clip

P1 = 0.75

P2 = 0.90

S1 = 8,000

S2 = 10,000

Mid point Formula = [ ( S2- S1 ) / ( P2- P1 ) ] / [ ( ( S2+ S1 ) / 2) / ( ( P2 + P1 )/2 ) ]

Price Elasticity of Supply =  [ ( 10,000- 8,000 ) / ( 0.90- 0.75 ) ] / [ ( ( 10,000+ 8,000 ) / 2) / ( ( 0.90 + 0.75 )/2 ) ]

Price Elasticity of Supply = (2,000 / 0.15) / (9,000 / 0.825)

Price Elasticity of Supply = 13,333.33 / 10909.09

Price Elasticity of Supply = 1.22
