Assume that the demand curve is a straight line. If the price per unit of a good rises from $4.50 to X1, it is expected that monthly demand will fall from X2 units to 250,000 units. Give your own appropriate X1 and X2. What is the point price elasticity of demand when the price is $4.50? What is the arc price elasticity of demand over these ranges of price and output? Is the demand for this good price sensitive?
Calculate the elasticity of demand, if the demand function is at the point where p = 6 and Q = 10. The elasticity of demand is ε = Q=160-4p +24Y, (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place and include a minus sign.)

When the price of good Y increases from $2 to $3, the quantity demanded for good X decreases from 20 units to 10 units. Using the Midpoint Method for Elasticity, what is the cross-price elasticity of demand between goods X and Y. (Round all decimal calculations to the closest ten-thousandths so your percentages are rounded to the closest hundredths; round your final answer to the closest hundredths.) Are goods X and Y complements or substitutes?
