If the cross-price elasticity between the price of good A and the demand for good B is zero, this implies: O The seller of good A can raise its price and there will be no reduction in the quantity of good B sold. O The goods are complementary with each other. O The own price elasticity for both goods is positive. O Producers of both goods are in the same market. O The goods are substitutes.

Using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of supply, if the price of a good rose from $95 to $105, what would be the elasticity of supply if the quantity supplied changed from a. 38 to 42? b. 78 to 82? c. 54 to 66?
(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
When calculating the cross-price elasticity of demand between any two goods, O a. the answer will always be a positive number. O b. the answer will be positive if the goods are substitutes of each other, and negative if they are complementary goods. O c. we take the absolute value of the elasticity because it is redundant information. O d. the answer will be negative if the goods are substitutes and positive if they are complementary goods.
Suppose that a person regards ham and cheese as pure complements—he or she will always use one slice of ham in combination with one slice of cheese to make a ham and cheese sandwich. Suppose also that ham and cheese are the only goods that this person buys, and that bread is free.6.1. If the price of ham is equal to the price of cheese, show that the own-price elasticity of demand for ham is –0.5 and that the cross-price elasticity ofdemand for ham with respect to the price of cheese is also –0.5.6.2. Explain why the results from (6.1) reflect only income effects, not substitution effects. What are the compensated price elasticities in this problem?6.3. Use the results from (6.2) to show how your answers to (6.1) would change if a slice of ham cost twice the price of a slice of cheese.
Goods x and y are perfect substitutes. When the market price of good x is $5/unit, firm F produces 500 units of x. When the price of y rises, 100 consumers of y shift to the consumption of good x. This causes industry analysts to believe that firm f has increased quantity supplied of x by 100 units to meet the higher demand for it. To arrive at this conclusion, the industry analysts are assuming that a. Good x is the only substitute of y available to them. b. Each person will now buy more of x than they did prior to the increase in the price of y. c. Good y is an inferior good. d. The law of supply does not hold for good y. e. The new buyers of good x will, on average, consume one unit each. It’s apparently not b.

Income elasticity of demand measures how responsive price is to changes in quantity demanded. how responsive quantity demanded is to changes in income. how responsive income is to changes in education levels. how responsive quantity demanded is to changes in price. For the next part, suppose the income elasticity of demand for butter is 0.470.47. That means butter is an inferior good. a complementary good. a normal good. a substitute good. a luxury good.
