<u>Given:</u>
Elasticity of Demand = 2
Decrease in price = 1%
<u>To find:</u>
Change in quantity demanded
<u>Solution:</u>
The percentage change in quantity demanded is the mathematical product of the percentage change in price and elasticity of demand. This can be mathematically represented as,
Since, there is a decrease in price, the demand for the product will increase. Therefore, we can conclude that there will be 2% increase in quantity demanded

The question is not complete,find below complete questions:
If you purchased a $50 face value bond in early 2017 at the then current interest rate of .10 percent per year, how much would the bond be worth in 2027? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. In 2027, instead of cashing the bond in for its then current value, you decide to hold the bond until it doubles in face value in 2037. What annual rate of return will you earn over the last 10 years?
The bond is worth $50.50 in the year 2027
The annual rate of return is 7.07%
Explanation:
The future value of the bond is given by the below formula:
FV=PV*(1+r)^N
where PV is the present of the bond of $50
r is the rate of return of 0.10 percent=0.001
N is the duration of the bond investment of 10 years
FV=50*(1+0.001
)^10
FV=$50.50
However for the face of the bond to double i.e to $100, the rate of return can be computed thus:
r=(FV/PV)^(1/N)-1
where FV=$100 (double of $50)
FV=$50.50(current value in 2027)
N=10
r=($100/$50.50)^(1/10)-1
r=0.070707543
r=7.07%
Cross price elasticity refers to the measure of responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a product to a change in price of another good.
From the question given above,
cross price elasticity = -20% / 10% = -2.
The cross price elasticity for the goods above is - 2. Which means that the goods are not substitutes.
A positive cross price elasticity which is greater than zero means that the goods are substitutes.
