According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately 0.69 Suppose the price of scooters is currently $125 per scooter, shown as point A on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is Inelastica $25-per-scooter decrease in price will lead to a decrease in total revenue per week. In general, in order for a price decrease to cause a decrease in total revenue, demand must be Inelasticarrow_forwardA contractor purchases a backhoe for $37, 300.
