Answer:

Midpoint value of price elasticity of demand = -2.07

Explanation:

We know,

Midpoint value of price elasticity = \frac{(Q_{2} - Q_{1})/[(Q_{2} + Q_{1})/2] }{(P_{2} - P_{1})/[(P_{2} + P_{1})/2] }

Given,

Original Price, P_{1} = $15

New Price, P_{2} = $12

Original Quantity demanded, Q_{1} = 1,000 units

New Quantity demanded, Q_{2} = 1,600 units

Putting the value in the above midpoint formula, we can get

Midpoint value of price elasticity = \frac{(1,600 - 1,000)/[(1,600 + 1,000)/2]}{(12-15)/[(12+15)/2]}

Midpoint value of price elasticity = \frac{600/1,300}{-3/13.5}

Midpoint value of price elasticity = \frac{0.46}{-0.22}

Midpoint value of price elasticity of demand = -2.07

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Aggregate demand shifts to the right.

Explanation:

Tax rebate means that the people have a tax benefit that increases their disposable income.

When there is additional income available for people to spend, there is an increased demand that shifts to the right the aggregate demand curve.

It is unconnected to the supply curve and inflation so the correct answer is option A.

Hope that helps.
