Suppose that 50 ice cream cones are demanded at a particular price. If the price of ice cream cones rises from that price by 4 percent, the number of ice cream cones demanded falls to 46 . Using the midpoint approach to calculate the price elasticity of demand, it follows that the

b. demand for ice cream cones in this price range is inelastic.
c. demand for ice cream cones in this price range is unit elastic.
d. price elasticity of demand for ice cream cones in this price range is 0.
