Question

Suppose there are three apples A,B and C being sold and consumed. The demand and supply equations for each type are:

DA=20-2PA+4PB+PC        ,      SA=4PA-5

DB=10+3PA-5PB+2PC     ,      SB= 3PB-7

DC=70+4PA+2PB-5PC    ,      SC=5PC-16

a) determine equilibrium Prices and quantities 

b) calculate the elasticity of demand for B with respect to Prices of variety A,B and C and interpret the economic meaning of the results
