Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows: Price Quantity of Pizzas Demanded Quantity of Pizzas Demanded (Dollars) (Income = $20,000) (Income = $24,000) 8 40 50 10 32 45 12 24 30 14 16 20 16 8 12   Using the midpoint method, your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizzas increases from $10 to $12 is  (0.45 / 0.64 / 4.57 / 2.20) if your income is $20,000 and ( 0.64 / 1.57 / 0.45 / 2.20 )  if your income is $24,000.   If the price of a pizza is $10, your income elasticity of demand is  ( 0.10 / 0.08 / 1.22 / 1.86 ) as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000. However, if the price of a pizza is $12, your income elasticity is  ( 0.10 / 0.08 / 1.86 / 1.22 ) .

Question
Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows:
Price
Quantity of Pizzas Demanded
Quantity of Pizzas Demanded
(Dollars)
(Income = $20,000)
(Income = $24,000)
8 40 50
10 32 45
12 24 30
14 16 20
16 8 12
 
Using the midpoint method, your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizzas increases from $10 to $12 is  (0.45 / 0.64 / 4.57 / 2.20) if your income is $20,000 and ( 0.64 / 1.57 / 0.45 / 2.20 )  if your income is $24,000.
 
If the price of a pizza is $10, your income elasticity of demand is  ( 0.10 / 0.08 / 1.22 / 1.86 ) as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000. However, if the price of a pizza is $12, your income elasticity is  ( 0.10 / 0.08 / 1.86 / 1.22 ) .
