Consider the demand for a luxury good such as a yacht. You can plot three different straight lines through the three points X, Y, and Z on this graph. Place the blue line (circle symbol) so that it goes two of the points and shows the most likely demand curve for this type of good. Hint: Consider the relative elasticities of the different possible demand curves. 120 100 Demand Curve 80 er yacht)

Research has found that the an increase in the price of Coca-Cola would increase quantity demanded for Pepsi. Is the cross elasticity of demand between the two products positive or negative? What does this imply about the relationship of Coca-Cola to Pepsi? In addition, research has found that the an increase in the price of hot dog buns would decrease quantity demanded for hot dogs. Is the cross elasticity of demand between the two products positive or negative? What does this imply about the relationship between hot dog buns and hot dogs? Please explain in detail your logic for both of these relationships. Also, can you think of another example of products that would behave in similar ways to Coca-Cola/Pepsi and hot dogs/ hot dog buns?

1)If there is an increase in the price of tea by 10%. and the quantity demanded coffee increases by 2%, then find the cross elasticity of demand. 2) According to a Honda press release on October 23, 2006, sales of the fuel-efficient four-cylinder Honda Civic rose by 7.1% from 2005 to 2006. Over the same period, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average price of regular gasoline rose from $2.27 per gallon to $2.57 per gallon. Using the midpoint method, calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between Honda Civics and regular gasoline. According to your estimate of the cross-price elasticity, are the two goods complements or substitutes? (answer on the basis of data value)

Suppose that demand schedule for discs is represented in the table below. PRICE ($) 8 10 QUANTITY DEMANDED (INCOME $10,000) 40 32 QUANTITY DEMANDED (INCOME $12,000) 50 46 If your income is $12,000, use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of compact discs increases from $8 to $10. Select one: O a. The price elasticity of demand for discs is equal to -1.25 and demand is elastic. b. The price elasticity of demand for discs is equal to -1 and demand is inelastic. c. The price elasticity of demand for discs is equal to -0.375 and demand is inelastic. Od. The price elasticity of demand for discs is equal to -1 and demand is unit elastic.
