- Consider two markets: the market for motorcycles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $4.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 29.0. When the price is $7.75, the quantity supplied of motorcycles is 65.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 103.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places.arrow_forwardDemand for Martha’s Mums will be 650 small mum plants if they are priced at $4.25 each but only 150 if they are priced at $10.75 each. a.
