3. Suppose a 10% increase I price of a different product (such y), has resulted in a 30% decrease in the demand for OUR product (say, product X). What can you tell about cross elasticity of demand? (Calculate and demonstrate your answer). Are x and y substitutes or complement? Why?

Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?
As the price of good X rises from 10 to 12, the quantity demanded of good Y rises from 100 units to 114 units. Are X and Y substitutes or complements? What is the cross elasticity of demand?
Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows: a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizza increases from 8 to 10 if (i) your income is 20,000 and (ii) your income is 24,000. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from 20,000 to 24,000 if (i) the price is 12 and (ii) the price is 16.
(Other Elasticity Measures) Complete each of the following sentences: a. The income elasticity of demand measures, for a given price, the __________ in quantity demanded divided by the __________ income from which it resulted. b. If a decrease in the price of one good causes a decrease in demand for another good, the two goods are __________. c. If the value of the cross-price elasticity of demand between two goods is approximately zero, they are considered __________.
2. Which of the following statements is (are) correct? (x) If the coefficient of cross-price elasticity of demand is 1.4, then the two goods are substitutes and the response to a price change is elastic. (y) If the coefficient of cross-price elasticity of demand is equal to one, then the two goods are substitutes and a price increase of ten percent for one good will cause the quantity purchased of the other good to increase by ten percent. (z) If the coefficient of cross-price elasticity of demand for a particular good is equal to negative 0.85, then the two goods are complements and the response to a price change of the other good is elastic. A. (x), (y) and (z) C. (x) and (y) only (y) and (z) only (x) and (z) only Е. (х) only D.
If X has many close substitutes, there will be large substitution effects (what will theindifference curves look like?). -The demand curve is likely to be flat, with a small increase in price leading to a large decrease in demand.For a normal good, the IE reinforces the SE, causing demand to be flatter. -For an inferiorgood, the IE dampens the SE, leading to a steeper demand curve. Can someone graph the Demand curve for a normal good and an inferior I'm having a hard time visualizing this. Thanks Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

If the price of product A falls by 15 percent and the quantity demanded for product B falls by 30 percent, a. find the cross elasticity of demand for these two goods. Show your work. b. Are the products substitutes or complements? Why? c. Are the products weak or strong substitutes or complements? Why? Suppose that Mrs. Baker is currently exhausting her money income by purchasing 10 units of X at a price of $10 each and 8 units of Y at a price of $6 each. The marginal utility of the last unit of X is 30 and for Y is 28. These data suggest that Mrs. Baker should either Three Options: 1. Buy less Y and more X 2. Buy less X and more Y 3. Stay with her current selection. Pick one of the three above options as your answer and justify (explain) your answer below:

Q19 Suppose X is a normal good. If the income increases, the demand for X will ______. 1) increase 2) decrease 3) stay the same
13. If a change of 15% in price of good X, results in a change in demand for good Y of 5%,then:(a) The cross-price elasticity of demand is 1/3 and the goods are substitutes(b) The cross-price elasticity of demand is 3 and the goods are substitutes(c) The cross-price elasticity of demand is 1/3 and the goods are complements(d) The cross-price elasticity of demand is 3 and the goods are complements(e) None of the above is true
Assume your demand for “Ipek su” water increases from 1 bottle to 3 when “Sirab su”increases the price per bottle from 18 azn to 25 azn.a) Calculate cross price elasticity of “Ipek su” water and comment on it.b) Based on your answer in a) comment whether the two goods are substitutes or complements.Assume when Sirab increases the price for a bottle of water from 18 to 25 anz, thedemand for Sirab decreases from 2 bottles to 1 bottle.c) Is the demand for Sirab price elastic?d) How will the revenue of a company producing Sirab change?
