Question
Suppose the demand functions for two products are q1 = f(p1, p2) and q2 = g(p1, p2) where
p1, p2, q1, and q2 are the prices (in dollars) and quantities for products 1 and 2. Consider the
four partial derivatives
∂q1/∂p1,
∂q1/∂p2,
∂q2/∂p1
and ∂q2/∂p2,
State the sign of each of these partial derivatives if:
(a) the products are complementary goods
(b) the products are substitute goods.

- Hydro Ottawa has two options for upgrading a natural gas power station to meet new government standards. Option 1: Hydro Ottawa will make the upgrades themselves. This is expected to cost $12,700 at the end of each month for 12 years. At the end of the operation (in 12 years) Hydro Ottawa expects to sell all equipment needed for the upgrade for $122,000. Option 2: Pay experienced contractors. This will cost $28,000 up front and $13,900 monthly (at the end of every month) for 15 years. Assume all interest is 3.72% compounded monthly.
