Explanation / Answer

Question – 5

Price of Good A

Quantity of Good B

$56

36

$48

55

Using the midpoint method

Cross price elasticity = ?Q (B)/?P (A) * P1+P2/Q1+Q2

Cross price elasticity = -19 (B)/8 (A) * $56+$48/36+55

Cross price elasticity = -2.71

Question – 6

As the cross elasticity is negative, we can say that the goods are complementary. In case of complementary goods the cross elasticity will be negative.

Question – 7

Price of Good A

Quantity of Good B

$65

43

$89

53

Using the midpoint method

Cross price elasticity = ?Q (B)/?P (A) * P1+P2/Q1+Q2

Cross price elasticity = -10 (B)/-24 (A) * $65+$89/43+53

Cross price elasticity = 0.67

Question – 8

As the cross elasticity is positive, we can say that the goods are substitutes. In case of substitutes goods the cross elasticity will be positive.

Price of Good A

Quantity of Good B
