    Price elasticity of demand = 1.2

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Old price (P0) = $2

    New Price (P1) = $3

    Old quantity (Q0) = 4,200

    New quantity (Q1) = 3,000

    Price elasticity of demand = ?

    Computation of Price elasticity of demand:

    Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity / % change in price

    Price elasticity of demand = [ (4,200-3,000) / 3,000] / [ (3-2) / 3]

    Price elasticity of demand = 1.2
