Answer:
0.85
Explanation:
Given that
Dropped percentage of tuition and fees = 14%
Enrollment fall from 8,400 to 7,400
So, the cross elasticity between the two schools is
= Percentage change in quantity demanded of one good ÷ Percentage change in price of another good
where,
Percentage change in quantity demanded of one good equals to
= ($7,400 - $8,400) ÷ ($8,400)
= -11.9%
And, the percentage change in price of another good is -14%
So, the cross elasticity is
= -11.9% ÷ -14%
= 0.85
