➤ How would you compute the elasticity using the midpoint (arc) method?
Use averages to compute percent changes. Average vacations = (3+4)/2 = 3.5, so %ΔQ = 1/3.5 = 28.57%. Average income = (100,000+109,500)/2 = 104,750, so %ΔI = 9,500/104,750 = 9.07%. Elasticity = 28.57% ÷ 9.07% ≈ 3.15. This reduces base‑choice bias.
