- 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?arrow_forwardConsider two markets: the market for cat food and the market for dog food. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $4.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 31.0. When the price is $8.75, the quantity supplied of cat food is 75.0 and the quantity supplied of dog food is 105.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for dog food. Please round to two decimal places.arrow_forwardWhich of the following increases the demand for a good or service? A) a rise in the price of a complement B) a rise in the price of the good or service C) a rise in the price of a substitute good or service D) a fall in the price of the good or servicearrow_forward
- Which of the following is not a factor that could cause a shift in the demand curve for a certain good? Group of answer choices an increase in the price of a complement a change in the price of that good a change in income an increase in popularity of the goodarrow_forwardThe following are market demand and supply equations for a perfume product:QD = 70 − 4PQS = 10 + 2Pwhere P is, QD and QS are quantity demanded and supplied of perfume, respectively. C) Suppose consumers’ income increases and perfume is considered as a normal good. As a result, the new demand equation is QD = 100 − 4P. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity of perfume. D) Your economist friend told you that because of the change in demand described in part (c), price elasticity of demand changed. Is your friend right? Explain. E) Use the demand equation in part (c) to compute price elasticity of demand between £5 and £6. Use the mid-point (arc) method.arrow_forwardAssume the market demand for tuna cans may be written as Qtc = 45 - 2 x Ptc + Psc+ 0.3y (where Ptc = price of tuna cans and Psc = price of sardine cans, and y = income). Further assume that both tuna cans and sardine cans sell for $1 and income is $25. Calculate cross - price elasticity for tuna cans and identify whether the goods are substitutes or complements.arrow_forward
- QUESTION 5 Refer to Figure 1 below: Price (dollar) Z W •D₂ Quumtity . A movement from point Z to point V could have been the result of a price increase. an increase in buyers' income (assuming that this is a normal good). an increase in the price of a complement to this good. a decrease in the number of buyers.arrow_forwardConsider two markets: the market for cat food and the market for dog food. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $3.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 31.0. When the price is $10.75, the quantity supplied of cat food is 75.0 and the quantity supplied of dog food is 103.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for dog food.
