If Starbucks raises its price by 7 percent and McDonald’s experiences a 0.3 percent increase in demand for its coffee, what is the cross-price elasticity of demand? Instructions: Round your response to two decimal places. If you are entering a negative number be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of that number.

When the price of a gallon of milk increases from $6 to $8, quantity demanded decreases to 27 gallons. Assuming the price elasticity of demand for milk is -0.3, what is the original quantity demanded?

Do you think the price elasticity of demand for toyota( clutch vehicles ) will increase, decrease, or remains the same which of the following events occurs? Explain A.) Other motor vehicle manufactures such as honda and Ford, decided to make and sell clutch vehicles B.) clutch vehicles produced from foreign countries are banned in the Philippine market C.) Due to ad campaigns, Filipinos believe that clutch vehicles are much safer than automatic. D.) The time period over which you measure the elasticity lengthens. During that longer time, new models such as Ferrari appear.

A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control looked at the relationship between the price of beer and the incidence of new cases of STD's. The report concluded that a beer tax increase of $.20 could reduce overall STD rates by 8.9%. Assume that a six pack cost $5.90 before the price increase. Calculate the cross price elasticity between beer and STD's. What is the sign of this cross-price elasticity? According to your estimate, are beer and STD's compliments or substitutes? Does your answer make sense? Explain.
