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

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

(a) Work/leisure choice

(b) Marketing strategy

Explanation:

Microeconomic issues relate to those that are within the scope and power of individuals, households and firms which means that problems here will relate to decisions that these participants make in relation to resource allocation.
