 Table 1.

i. Use the data in the table above to plot a supply and demand curve 
ii. Identify the equilibrium price and quantity
B. Use the midpoint formula to calculate the price elasticity when demand changes from $20
to $15 and explain if the disposable cameras are elastic or inelastic.
C. A local car dealership collects data on changes in demand and consumer income for its
cars each year. When the average real income of its customers increased from $80,000 to
$100,000 the demand for its cars increased from 15,000 to 20,000 units sold, all other
things unchanged. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the income elasticity of demand.
