![Question 5
An island nation of Santa Clara that grows coconuts consists of two islands:
Leavey and Sobrato. Each island produces 100 pounds of coconuts. Let's assume
that the supply curves of coconuts are perfectly inelastic in both islands. The
demand curve in each island is Q = 200-20P, where P is the price of coconut
that consumers pay.
Question 5 Part a

is the price elasticity of demand at the equilibrium level?
