Answer: (a) -0.1412

(b) 0.4941

Explanation:

Q = 11 - 2P + 3Ps

Where,

P - price of the product

Ps - price of a substitute good

Ps = $2.80

P = $1.20

\frac{dQ}{dP} = -2

\frac{dQ}{dPs} = 3

Price\ elasticity\ of\ demand= \frac{P}{Q}\times\frac{dQ}{dP}

Price\ elasticity\ of\ demand= \frac{1.20}{11-2P+3Ps}\times(-2)

Price\ elasticity\ of\ demand= \frac{1.20}{11-2\times1.2+3\times2.8}\times(-2)

                                                     = \frac{-2.4}{17}

                                                     = -0.1412

Cross\ Price\ elasticity\ of\ demand= \frac{Ps}{Q}\times\frac{dQ}{dPs}

                                                                 = \frac{2.8}{17}\times3

                                                                 = 0.4941

C.It is sometimes difficult for partners to agree on every business decision.
