**Demand Function for a Firm's Product**

The demand function for a firm's product is given by \( q = 18(3p_s - 2p)^{1/3} \), where:
- \( q \) = monthly demand (measured in thousands of units)
- \( p_s \) = average price of a substitute for the firm's product (measured in dollars)
- \( p \) = price of the firm's good (measured in dollars).

### Calculations:
1. **Partial Derivative with respect to \( p \):**
\[ \left. \frac{\partial q}{\partial p} \right|_{p=2}^{p_s=4} \]
Drop-down menu provided for selecting the answer.

2. **Partial Derivative with respect to \( p_s \):**
\[ \left. \frac{\partial q}{\partial p_s} \right|_{p=2}^{p_s=4} \]
Drop-down menu provided for selecting the answer.

3. **Price Elasticity of Demand \( \eta_{q/p} \):**
\[ \eta_{q/p} \left|_{p=2}^{p_s=4} \right. \]
