6) The elasticity of supply for a given good is 0.8; if the percentage increase in the price of said well it is 25%, the quantity supplied of the same: (explain) a) Will increase by 25% b) It will decrease by 17% c) Will increase by 20% d) It will decrease by 25%
Problem 03-06 (algo) You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of $40,000 per year from product X and $80,000 per year from product Y. The own price elasticity of demand for product X is -1.5, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between product Yand X is -1.8. How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 1 percent? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to use a (-) sign. GA

(a) Consider a firm that is particularly interested in estimates of elasticities. It discovers that its cross-price elasticity of demand between good A, which it sells and good B, which another firm sells is +5.3. Its price elasticity of demand for good A is estimated as -2.5 and its income elasticity of demand is +2.5, while the price elasticity of supply is +0.3. Comment on the implication of these figures for the firm. Discuss the information that this provides to the firm and how it can use this to develop its product, pricing and overall strategy.
