Solution

The correct answer is E. (P2 - P1 ) divided by the average of P1 and P2. The midpoint formula for price elasticity of supply is calculated as the percentage change in quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price. This is calculated as (Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2] divided by (P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1)/2]. However, the numerator of this formula is (P2 - P1 ) divided by the average of P1 and P2.
