Answer:

  • Obscure-Man = -1.33
  • Team-Up Flick 17: The Final Chapter, Part 1 = -1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Price elasticity based on the variables given here, can be calculated using the formula:

= Price / (Marginal cost - Price)

Obscure-Man:

= 20/ (5 - 20)

= -1.33

Team-Up Flick 17: The Final Chapter, Part 1:

= 30 / (5 - 30)

= -1.2
