Question

please solve C by midpoint method 

Suppose that the demand schedule for rice for a Saudi family is as follows:
Price
Quantity Demanded
Of Rice Per Month
(income = SR 10,000)
Quantity Demanded
Of Rice Per Month
(income = SR 15,000)
SR 5          60       70
SR 4          80       95
SR 3        100      120
SR 2        120      145
SR 1        140      170
a. Given the table above, draw the demand curve of rice using Excel.
b. Show what will happen to your graph if this family like now less rice as they are eating
more outside.
c. Use the midpoint method to calculate the price elasticity of demand as the price of rice
increases from SR 4 to SR 5 if (i) family’s income is SR 10,000 and (ii) family’s income is SR
15,000.
