How the use of mid-point approach of price elastic of demand differs from the standard way to compute price elasticity of demand?


It is calculated as the percentage change in the quantity demanded of the good divided by the percentage of change in the price of that good.

The mid-point method calculates the percentage change by dividing the change by the average of the initial and final levels of price and quantities.

It is calculated as the change in the quantity demanded of the good divided by the change in the price of that good

The mid-point method calculates the percentage change by dividing the change by the maximum of the initial and final levels of price and quantities.

The mid-point method calculates the percentage change by dividing the change by the minimum of the initial and final levels of price and quantities.

Price Elasticity of Demand-Mid-point Approach

When we take two points such as points A and B, on the demand curve, then calculating the price elasticity of demand moving from point A to B or B to A and have the same elasticity measure requires the following equation. Different than the standard way to compute price elasticity of demand, the mid-point method calculates the percentage change by dividing the change by the average of the initial and final levels of price and quantities.
