Question 2.

Scenario 1: Toll rate in 2012: $10.00. Toll rate in 2016: $22.50

For every 100 cars using the toll roads in 2012, only 81.6 cars will use the toll roads in 2016.

Scenario 2:
Toll rate in 2012: $10.00. Toll rate in 2016: $17.50

For every 100 cars using the toll roads in 2012, only 96.2 cars will use the toll roads in 2016.

Using the midpoint formula, calculate the price elasticity of demand for Scenario 1 and Scenario 2. (15 points)
