Suppose that business travelers and vacationers have the following demand for airline tickets from New York to Boston:
Quantity Demanded by Business Travelers
(Tickets)
Price
Quantity Demanded by Vacationers
(Dollars)
(Tickets)
150
2,100
1,000
200
2,000
800
250
1,900
600
300
1,800
400
As the price of tickets rises from $250 to $300, the price elasticity of demand for business travelers is
and the price elasticity of demand for
vacationers is
, using the midpoint method. Therefore, the demand for airline tickets in this price range is
v elastic for vacationers
because business travelers are
sensitive to changes in price.
