Consider two markets. The initial equilibrium of both markets is the same, P = $0.50, and Q = 31.0. When the price is $7.75, the quantity supplied of cat food is 67.0 and the quantity supplied of snake oil is 103.00. The demand for both goods is the same (for simplicity of analysis). Use this information to answer the questions below:

Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for snake oil? Please round to two decimal places.

Number =

Supply in the market for cat food is:

a. More elastic than supply in the market for snake oil.

b. Less elastic than supply in the market for snake oil.

c. There is enough information to tell which will has a higher elasticity.

d. The same elasticity as supply in the market for snake oil.
