Question

For each scenario, calculate the cross-price elasticity between the two goods and identify how the goods are related. Please use the midpoint method when applicable, and specify answers to one decimal place. A 20% price increase for Product A causes a 10% decrease in its quantity demanded, but no change in the quantity demanded for Product B.

Answer 1

Answer:

No relation

Explanation:

The computation of the cross elasticity of demand is shown below:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

here the price is increased by 20% for product A

But there is no change in the quantity demanded for product B

So, the cross elasticity of demand is

= 0 ÷ 20%

= 0

Therefore there is no relation between two products or goods
