4.(a). Competition might be a worry for Toyota. PM = the price of Mazadas. Calculate the point Mazada cross-price elasticity of demand with PM = $20000 and PT = $20000 (which should make Qr = 270). Other variables are given at the top before question #1. The formula is: QT Pm dPm Qr ETM = (b). Does this elasticity indicate that the demand for Toyotas is relatively responsive to changes in the price of Mazadas? Explain why or why not.

Initial values are: PM = $20000 PG = $1.00 I = $15000 A = $10000

This function is: QT = 200 -.01PT +.005PM -10PG +.01I +.003A

**Question 4: Competition and Cross-Price Elasticity**

4.(a). Competition might be a worry for Toyota. Let \( P_M \) represent the price of Mazdas. Calculate the point Mazda cross-price elasticity of demand with \( P_M = \$20000 \) and \( P_T = \$20000 \) (which should make \( Q_T = 270 \)). Other variables are given at the top before question #1. The formula is:

\[
E_{TM} = \frac{\partial Q_T}{\partial P_M} \cdot \frac{P_M}{Q_T}
\]

(b). Does this elasticity indicate that the demand for Toyotas is relatively responsive to changes in the price of Mazdas? Explain why or why not.

**Question 5: Advertising Elasticity**

5.(a). Calculate the point advertising elasticity of demand for advertising expenditures (\( A \)) = $10000, also with \( P_T = \$10000 \) (which should make \( Q_T= 370 \)). Other variables and their values are given at the top, before question #1. The formula is:

\[
E_A = \frac{\partial Q_T}{\partial A} \cdot \frac{A}{Q_T}
\]

(b). Does this elasticity indicate that demand for Toyotas is very responsive to changes in advertising expenditures (thus suggesting that advertising is a very important way to increase sales)? Explain why or why not.
