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.

![**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.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6bcdff69-8e2f-4d70-9fa6-ce88ac327df5%2F2c62cb28-1428-492d-bfe1-bee89b08d244%2Fy0fflmf_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
