When the price of peanut butter is $5 per package, Oliver buys 5 jars of jelly. When the price of peanut butter changes to $20 per package, Oliver buys 6 jars of jelly. What is Oliver's cross-price elasticity of demand? (Use the midpoint method in your calculations and round your answer to two decimal places.)

Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.
As the price of good X rises from 10 to 12, the quantity demanded of good Y rises from 100 units to 114 units. Are X and Y substitutes or complements? What is the cross elasticity of demand?
Suppose a movie theater raises the price of popcorn 10 percent, but customers do not buy any less popcorn. What does this tell you about the price elasticity of demand? What will happen to total revenue as a result of the price increase?
