Question
The equation of an estimated
QdA (Quantity demand for A) = 200.5 - 2.5 Pa - 1.5Pb + 3.5 I
where, Pa =
Pb = Price of B [It is a related product]
I = Income
(i) Determine the demand when Pa = $ 500, Pb = $ 100 and I = $ 3000
(ii) Estimate the price elasticity, cross-price elasticity and income
(iii) Estimate the elasticity of the demand according to proportion method if Pa2 = $ 515, Pb2 = $ 105 and I = $ 3500.
