Where, price of good1 (P1) is 29, price of good2 (P2) is 181, price of good3 (P3) is 199, and income (Y) is 30466;

(a) Find the price elasticity of demand (PED).

(Give your answer to two decimal places)

(b) Find the income elasticity of demand (YED).

(Give your answer to two decimal places)

(c) Find the cross-price elasticity of demand (XED) between good1 and good3.

(Give your answer to east two decimal places)


(d) Estimate the percentage change in the demand for good1 resulting from an 8% decrease in the price of good2.

(Give your answer to two decimal places, if required)
