Can i get some help?
The income elasticity of demand of good B, is as follows: Good B: 0.2 If income rises by 5 %. By how much the quantity demanded of B will change?
The quantity demanded for product A increases 8% when the price of product B increases 16% and the other variables remain the same. Calculate the cross elasticity of demand. Products A and B, are they complementary or substitutes? Why? By drawing a graph, show the change in the demand curve for product A as a result of the change in the price of product B.
2. Show that the price elasticity of demand is constant for demand functions of the form A P= Q" where A and n are positive constants.
3. Suppose a 10% increase I price of a different product (such y), has resulted in a 30% decrease in the demand for OUR product (say, product X). What can you tell about cross elasticity of demand? (Calculate and demonstrate your answer). Are x and y substitutes or complement? Why?
The cross-price elasticity between the good sold in this market (call it X) and another good (Y) is εXY = –0.80. The cross-price elasticity between the good X and good Z, on the other hand, is εXZ = 1.50. Are X and Y substitutes, complements, or unrelated? How about X and Z? Explain.
When the price of good Y increases from $2 to $3, the quantity demanded for good X decreases from 20 units to 10 units. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between goods X and Y. (Round all decimal calculations to the closest ten- thousandths so your percentages are rounded to the closest hundredths; round your final answer to the closest hundredths.) Are goods X and Y complements or substitutes?
Timmy is selling his toy dinos again. The consumer demand curve for thedinos is given by: x=(50-3p)^2 where p is the price per dino, and x is the demand in weekly sales. a.) Find the Elasticity of Demand function E(p) and evaluate it at the price p = $5.Is the demand elastic, inelastic, or does it have unit elasticity? Explain what this means inyour own words. b.) Find the price Timmy needs to charge for his dinos in order to maximize revenue.(Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
A 3.5 percent increase in the price of milk causes a 7 percent reduction in the quantity demanded of chocolate syrup. What is the cross-price elasticity of demand for chocolate syrup with respect to the price of milk? Cross-price elasticity of demand: Are the two goods complements or substitutes?
