MIcro: The company “Mike Broonie” operates in the market of monopolistic competition. Just now, the company weekly produces and sells 100 units of pillows for £12 each. The average total cost to produce the pillows doesn’t depend on the output, being £10 per unit. Having evaluated the price elasticity of demand for its product, the company concluded that demand is inelastic at the moment. a. What indicator characterizes the price elasticity of demand? What formula (or formulas) one can use to calculate this indicator? Choose any number for this indicator that, under the conditions specified in the case, could characterize the price elasticity of demand for the company “Mike Broonie”. b.
