Indicate whether the statement is true or false, and justify your answer.Unlike the usual measure of elasticity, an arc elasticity can be calculated from just one price–quantity data point.
Could you please help me understand why the correct answer is what it is for each of these true/fase statments? I have tried this problem a couple times and I keep getting it incorrect. If you could show you you used your calculation solution to determine elasticity, that would be very helpful. Thanks!

The manager selected three states that were representative of its entire service area and increased prices by 5 percent to customers in those areas. One week later, the number of customers enrolled in Pacific’s cellular plans declined 4 percent in those states, while enrollments in states where prices were not increased remained flat. The manager used this information to estimate the own price elasticity of demand and, based on her findings, immediately increased prices in all market areas by 5 percent in an attempt to boost the company’s 2012 annual revenues. One year later, the manager was perplexed because Pacific Cellular’s 2012 annual revenues were 10 percent lower than those in 2011 - the price increase apparently led to a reduction in the company’s revenues. Did the manager make an error? Explain.arrow_forward
