COMPLETE QUESTION:

Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is -3, its income elasticity is 1, its advertising elasticity is 2, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between it and good Y is -4. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change if: Instructions: Enter your answers as percentages. Include a minus (-) sign for all negative answers.

a. The price of good X decreases by 5 percent.

b. The price of good Y increases by 8 percent.

c. Advertising decreases by 4 percent.

d. Income increases by 4 percent.

ANSWER

a) The quantity demanded of good X will change by 15 percent

b) The demand for X will change by -32 percent.

c) The demand for good X will change by -8 percent

d) The demand of good X will change by 4 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures how responsive  quantity demanded is to a change in the  price of  a commodity.

price elasticity = \frac{\frac{dQ}{Q} }{\frac{dP}{P} } .    

Note:  Same applies to income,advertising and cross-price elasticity.

where, P is the price of the demanded good and Q is the quantity of the demanded good and dQ and dP are the changes in quantities of demanded goods and prices respectively.

a) Quantity demanded on goods X due to decrease by 5 percent in price is ;

-3 = \frac{\frac{dQ}{Q} }{-5}     , therefore  percentage increase in quantity of goods demanded is  (-3 x -5) = 15 percent

       

b) Cross- Price Elasticity; Quantity demanded on goods X due to increase by 8 percent in price in goods Y is;

-4 = \frac{\frac{dQ}{Q} }{8}   , therefore percentage decrease in quantity of goods demanded is  (-4 x 8) = -32 percent

c)  Advertising Elasticity ; Quantity demanded on goods X due to decrease  by 4 percent in advertising is;

2 = \frac{\frac{dQ}{Q} }{-4}   , therefore percentage decrease in quantity of goods demanded is  (2 x -4) = -8 percent

d) Income Elasticity ; Quantity demanded on goods X due to increase by 4 percent in income is;

1 = \frac{\frac{dQ}{Q} }{4}   , therefore percentage increase in quantity of goods demanded is   (1 x 4) = 4 percent

7 I think because if you would put a zero behind the 4 and 7 and add them together it will be 110 and all that's left if u subtract them from 180 is 70 (7)

What are the answers to 2 and 4
Pavel [41]
2. y = -4x + 1 so slope m = -4

passing thru (3,-1)
y = mx + b
-1 = -4(3) + b
-1 = -12 + b
11 = b or b = 11

answer:
equation: y =  -4x + 11

4. 
answer is a. -2, 1/2 opposite reciprocal


b. 1/4 , 4 ..... only reciprocal
c. 5, -5..........only opposite

What is the geometric mean of 8 and 10?
nekit [7.7K]
If the smaller number is x, then the larger number has to be 20 - x in order for the arithmetic mean to be 10, as their sum must be 20.

If the geometric mean is 8 the product of the numbers has to be 64 and so the larger number is 64/x

Solving 64/x = 20 - x gives the quadratic x^2 -20x +64 = 0 so x = 4 or 16.

The two numbers are 4 and 16.

3- A rectangle has an area of 30 square meters arm a perimeter of 34 meters the dimensions , of the rectangle I 9 , a J v ft HA
Leto [7]
If you are looking for the answer to the question above you have to ask yourself what two numbers multiply to 30 and equal 17 when added up. We halve the perimeter to make this easier. So your answer is 15 and 2 because 15 *2=30. If the sides are 15 and 2 then, 15(2) +2(2)=34. There is your answer.
