The Potomac Range Corporation manufactures a line of microwave ovens costing $500 each. Its sales have averaged about 6,000 units per month during the past year. In August, Potomacs closest competitor, Spring City Stove Works, cut its price for a closely competitive model from $600 to $450. Potomac noticed that its sales volume declined to 4,500 units per month after Spring City announced its price cut. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Potomacs oven and the competitive Spring City model? Would you say that these two firms are very dose competitors? What other factors could have influenced the observed relationship? If Potomac knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its ovens is 3.0, what price would Potomac have to charge to sell the same number of units it did before the Spring City price cut?

The formula to calculate elasticity using the arc method is given below: E=Q2-Q1Q1+Q22P2-P1P1+P22Where,Q1= initial quantityQ2=new quantityP1=initial priceP2=new price E=340-306306+340221-2424+212E=34323-322.5E=34×22.5323×-3E=765-969E=-0.79 The value of elasticity in absolute terms is 0.79. Since the value of elasticity in absolute terms is less than one (0.79<1) the demand is inelastic. Can you put the above in correct format as per the formolation i get the answer different so not sure if i am doing something wrong see pic.
