3. Assume the market demand for wheat may be written as Q = 45 - 2p + 0.3Y + 1pb where Y refers to income and pb refers to the price of barley. Assuming that wheat and barley both sell for $1, and income is $20, calculate a. the price elasticity b. cross price elasticity between wheat and barley and c. income elasticity for wheat.
