Johnson & Johnson recently reduced the price of "Generic A" from $100 to $60 in New Jersey area market and enjoyed a resulting increase in sales from 600 to 1800 units per day. Sales of "Generic B" also increased from 300 to 1500 units per day. 1 Calculate the arc-price elasticity of demand for Generic A. You also need to interpret the elasticity. 2 Calculate the arc-cross-price elasticity of demand for Generic B. You also need to interpret the elasticity. 3 Is Generic B a "complement" or a "substitute"?
