  1. Compute and interpret the cross elasticity of demand for tilapia with respect to the price of chicken?
  2. How is chicken related to tilapia? 
  3. How responsive is the demand for tilapia to a change in income? 
  4. Based on income elasticity of demand, what type of good is tilapia? 
  5. How is milkfish related to tilapia? 
Assume the following demand function for tilapia and the mean values of the variables: Qa = 2.5
- 6 Pt+2 P₂ +2 Pc + 0.05 Y + ε
Mean Values:
Qa= 20 kg
Pt =
PhP
140/kg Pm
PhP 200/kgPc=
PhP 190/kgY =
PhP 25,000
=
where: Qa= weekly household consumption of tilapia (kg), P₁= retail price of tilapia(PhP/kg),
Pm = retail price of milkfish (PhP/kg). P. = retail price of chicken (PhP/kg), Y = weekly household
income (Php), and & = error term
