For each scenario, calculate the cross-price elasticity between the two goods and identify how the goods are related. Please
use the midpoint method when applicable, and specify answers to one decimal place
A 20% price increase for Product A causes a 10% decrease in its quantity demanded, but no change in the quantity demanded
for Product B
relationship between A and B
cross-price elasticity between A and B
Product C increases in price from $3 a pound to $4 a pound. This causes the quantity demanded for Product D to increase
from 44 units to 85 units
relationship between C and D
cross-price elasticity between C and D
When the price of Product E decreases 2%, this causes its quantity demanded to increase by 14% and the quantity demanded
for Product F to increase 17%
relationship between E and F
cross-price elasticity between E and F

- Tim makes twice as much money as his brother Andrew, but they equally like to go to baseball games. Suppose the ticket price of MLB games rises from $50 to $100, and Tim decreases the number of games he attends by 20%. Andrew is more responsive to the price change of tickets because they take up a larger portion of his income. Andrew's price elasticity of demand for MLB games must be less than ___.arrow_forward7) If the income elasticity of demand for books is 1,5, a 10 % increase in the income of consumers will cause a __ and books are _a) 15% increase in the demand for books, normal goodsb) 15 % decrease in the demand for books, superior goodsc) 15% increase in the demand for books, inferior goodsb) 15 % decrease in the demand for books, inferior good[14:16]If the elasticity of demand for umbrellas is -1.6 and the price of umbrellas increases by 10 %, the expenditures on umbrellas willa) decrease by 6 %b) decrease b 10 %c) increase by 10 %d) increase by 6 %arrow_forwardThe cross-price elasticity of demand between good X and good Y is -3.

- You sell two different goods: printers and toner cartridges. The price elasticity of demand for the printers is -3.4, and you earn a revenue of RM15,000 per month from the good. You earn a revenue of RM5,000 per month from the toner cartridges. The cross price elasticity of demand for both of the goods is 25. If you decide to decrease the price of the printers by 5%, calculate your new total revenues for both of the goods.arrow_forwardIn this question, you'll deal with two goods, and you'll have to solve for cross-price elasticity using the percent change formula. When the old price of a file cabinet was $1,171 per cabinet, an old quantity of 212 desks were sold. After the price decreased to a new price of $823 per file cabinet, a new quantity of 379 desks were sold. Using these numbers, what is the cross-price elasticity of file cabinets for desks? Round your answer to 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardMikey is very picky and insists that his mom make his breakfast with equal parts of cereal and apple juice with any other combination, and it ends up on the floor. Cereal costs 4 cents per tablespoon and apple juice costs 6 cents per tablespoon. If Mikey's mom budgets RM8 per month for Mikey's breakfast, how much cereal and juice does she buy? А. 40 tablespoons each of cereal and juice В. 80 tablespoons each of cereal and juice C. 40 tablespoons of cereal and 75 tablespoons of juice D. 100 tablespoons of cereal and 67 tablespoons of juicearrow_forward
- You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of $20,000 per year from product Xand $80,000 per year from product Y. The own price elasticity of demand for product X is -3, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between product Y and Xis -1.6. How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 2 percent?arrow_forward4arrow_forwardPrice falls from $8.50 to $7.75, and the quantity demanded rises from 900 units to 970 units. What is the approximate coefficient of price elasticity of demand (Ed) between these two prices? 0.64 1.00 1.23 O 1.44 O 0.81arrow_forward
- What is the current price of gasoline and how many gallons of gasoline do you currently buy per month? How many gallons would you buy next month and how would your behavior change if the price fell by $1.25 per gallon? Also, based on that information, what is your price elasticity of demand for gasoline? Be sure to show how you calculated your price elasticity of demand. current price of gas = $2.53 gallons of gas per month = 72 gallons no change for next month On the average I fill my tank up 3 times a month each time I go I spend $60-$65arrow_forwardYou run a shop that sells everything connected with coffee. Currently, you sell 21 coffee makers per month, but you would like to increase this to 55. Knowing that coffee makers and coffee beans are complements, you have decided to stimulate demand for coffee makers by decreasing the price of coffee beans. Given that you achieved your sales target for coffee makers by reducing the price of coffee beans from $1.10 to $0.89, what is the cross-price elasticity of demand between the two goods? Use the midpoint method, and round all intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places if necessary.arrow_forwardQuestion 25 pts Comparing demand curve A to demand curve B we can say that Comparing demand curve A to 100% demand curve B between $9 and $15 prices, we can say that Between the price of $3 and $9, the price elasticity of demand for curve A is If demand curve A and B were different products (A and B), which of the following might explain their differences?
