Someone tells you the "absolute value" of the cross price elasticity of two substitutes like Coke and Pepsi is 2.40. Based on this information, what percent change in the price of Coke will cause the quantity demanded of Pepsi to increase by 3%.
If an increase in the price of coffee at Starbucks by 30% raises sales of coffee at Cafe Beans by 30%. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of Starbucks coffee and Cafe Beans coffee. Are these two coffees complements or substitutes?
Ghose and Han (2014) found that the elasticity of demand for Google Play apps is -3.7. (See the mini-case "Demand Elasticities for Google Play and Apple Apps.") This elasticity applies to a small college town where consumers buy approximately 1000 apps per month. If price rises by 5%, what would the effect on quantity demanded? Would revenue rise or fall?

B) Goods X and Y are substitutes. 3. C) Goods X and Y are complements. 4. D) The demand for goods X and Y is income elastic
Please help with following question Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is -4, its income elasticity is 2, its advertising elasticity is 3, and the cross price elasticity of demand between it and good Y is -6. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change if: The price of good X increases by 10%. The price of good Y decreases by 5%. Advertising increases by 14%. Income decreases by 8%. thanks

The accompanying table lists the cross-price elasticities of demand for several goods, where the percent quantity change is measured for the first good of the pair, and the percent price change is measured for the second good. ( please see image) a. Explain the sign of each of the cross-price elasticities. What does it imply about the relationship between the two goods in question? b. Compare the absolute values of the cross-price elasticities and explain their magnitudes. For example, why is the cross-price elasticity of McDonald’s burgers and Burger King burgers less than the cross-price elasticity of butter and margarine? c. Use the information in the table to calculate how a 10% increase in the price of Pepsi affects the quantity of Coke demanded. d. Use the information in the table to calculate how a 5% decrease in the price of gasoline affects the quantity of SUVs demanded.
