- 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?

- QUESTION 1 Encyclopedias were widely used back in the 1970s. Most students and scholars used the encyclopedia to find information on various topics. There was only a small percentage decrease in quantity demanded for encyclopedias in the 1970s when there was a relatively larger percentage increase in price. Today, in the age of the internet, a small percentage increase in price of encyclopedias results in a relatively larger percentage decrease in the quantity demanded. 1. The price elasticiy of demand for encyclopedias in the 1970s was relatively less elastic than today. 2. If the price for encyclopedias increased in the 1970s, the point price elasticity of demand for encyclopedias woud have been greater than 1. 3. The price elasticity of demand for encyclopedias, after the internet, is considered elastic. Which of the above statements are true? O Only 1 is true. O Only 2 is true. Only 3 is true. Both 1 and 2 are true. Both 1 and 3 are true.arrow_forwardQUESTION 21 If the price of lamb goes up by 20% and the demand goes down by 5%.
