The demand for dress shoes is represented by the figure below. Using the midpoint formula calculate the demand elasticity between points:           A and C; C and E, E and F. State and explain whether shoes is elastic or inelastic for parts (i) and (iii) above. If the store currently charges a price of $40, then increases that price to $60, what happens to total revenue from shoe sales. Explain why the answers to a. can be used to predict the answer to c.
