Answer:

Option c = They are Substitutes and have cross price elasticity of 1.67

Explanation:

Cross-Price Elasticity = <u>%change in Quantity demanded of  good X</u>

                                      %change in Price of good Y

% change in Quantity Demanded of good X = <u>Q2-Q1  </u> × 100

                                                                            (<u>Q1+Q2)</u>

                                                                                2

% change in Quantity Demanded of good X =<u> 40-20 </u> ×100

                                                                            <u>(20+40)</u>

                                                                                 2

% change in Quantity Demanded of good X = 66.67%

% change in price of good Y = <u>P2-P1</u> × 100

                                                  <u> ( P1+P2)</u>

                                                       2

Last month Total Revenue = $100

Total Units = 50

Last month Price / unit = 100/50 = $2

This Total Revenue $120

Total units 40

This monthPrice / unit = 120/40 = $3

% change in price of good Y=<u> 3 - 2     </u>× 100

                                                    <u>3+2</u>

                                                      2

% change in price of good Y =<u> 1   </u>× 100

                                                  2.5

% change in price of good Y = 40%

Cross-Price Elasticity =<u> 66.67</u>

                                        40

Cross- Price Elasticity = 1.67

Since its greater than 1 its Cross price elasticity of Substitute

also as the price of good y increased from $2 to $3 the quantity demanded of good x increased although its price remained constant which indicates its a substitute good as  people preferred buying good x instead of good y
