Assignment 5 Elasticity and its Application [10 points]
Johnson & Johnson recently reduced the price of "Generic A" from $100 to $60 in New Jersey
area market and enjoyed a resulting increase in sales from 600 to 1800 units per day. Sales of
"Generic B" also increased from 300 to 1500 units per day.
1
Calculate the arc-price elasticity of demand for Generic A. You also need to interpret the
elasticity.
2
Calculate the arc-cross-price elasticity of demand for Generic B. You also need to interpret the
elasticity.
3
Is Generic B a "complement" or a "substitute"?
