Answer:
Cross price elasticity using midpoint method = 0.56
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the mid-point method
Cross-price Elasticity of Demand = % change in Quantity demanded of UPS
                             % change of price of FedEx
%change in Quantity demanded of UPS
using Mid-point method              = Q2-Q1       × 100
                                   (Q1+Q2)÷ 2
                   = 1.3-1.2       × 100
                    (1.2+1.3)÷2
                   = 0.1    × 100
                    1.25
                   = 8%
% change in price of FedEx
using midpoint method   = P2-P1       × 100
                       (P1+P2)÷ 2
                     = 75-65      × 100
                      (65+75)÷2
                     = 10   × 100
                       70
                     = 14.28%
Cross-price Elasticity of Demand =  8% ÷ 14.28%
using midpoint method         = 0.56
