**Educational Content: Demand and Price Elasticity****Scenario:**Suppose Norman Bates, the owner-manager of a small local hotel, projects the following demand for his rooms:| Price | Quantity purchased (per night) ||-------|---------------------------------|| $110 | 10 || $130 | 8 |**Tasks:**a. **Calculate the arc price elasticity** between $110 and $130. Please report your answer to two decimal places.b. Is the price elasticity of demand between $110 and $130 elastic, unit elastic, or inelastic?c. Will Norman’s total revenue rise if he increases the price from $110 to $130 per night?d. If the two points on the demand for Norman’s rooms lie on a straight-line demand curve, what then is the **point price elasticity of demand** at a nightly price of $150? Please show your work and report your answer to one decimal place.---**Notes:**- Elasticity measures the responsiveness of demand to changes in price.- Arc elasticity uses the midpoint method to calculate elasticity over a range of prices.- Total revenue changes depend on whether demand is elastic or inelastic.- Point elasticity provides insight into demand at a specific price point.

Elasticity of demand refers to the proportionate change in quantity demanded with respect to the…
