The prices of both goods rise by 20%. For which good does Qd drop the most? Why?For a narrowly defined good such as blue jeans, there are many substitutes (khakis, shorts, Speedos). There are fewer substitutes available for broadly defined goods. (There aren’t too many substitutes for clothing, other than living in a nudist colony.)

If the cross-price elasticity of demand for good X with respect to good Y equals 0, how is that value interpreted? These goods are complements, and the quantity demanded of good X increases if the price of good Y decreases. These goods are unrelated, and a change in the price of good Y has no effect on the quantity of good X demanded. These goods are normal goods, and a change in buyers income increases the quantity demanded of good X. These goods are substitutes, and the quantity demanded of good X decreases if the price of good Y decreases.
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.

A 20% increase in income leads to a 10% decrease in the quantity of hot dogs demanded but the price of hot dogs doesn't change. From this information, we can assume: hot dogs are an inferior good and price elasticity of demand is less than 1. hot dogs are an inferior good and price elasticity of supply is infinite. hot dogs are an inferior good and price elasticity of supply is equal to zero. hot dogs are a normal good and price elasticity of demand is greater than 1
