- The data in the table shows the price and quantity supplied for exercise balls. Using the Midpoint Method, what is the price elasticity of supply from point C to point D? Note: Remember to take the absolute value of the result and round to the nearest hundredth. If using a calculator, rounding should be done at the end of your calculation. Provide your answer below: Point Price $30 A B C D E $32 834 $3 $38 Quantity 10,000 10, 100 10,200 10,300 10,040arrow_forwardBuilding.
