Assume that data collected in Scotland reveals that when the price of good J increased by 25%, the quantity of good J sold decreased by 10%, and the quantity of good Y demanded decreased by 30%. What is the cross price elasticity of demand between good Y and good J? –0.83 3 0.83 –1.2 Which of the following can you conclude based on this information? Check all that apply. Good J and good Y are unrelated. The demand for good J is price elastic in this price range. Good J and good Y are complements. The demand for good Y is price elastic in this price range.

If a 10 percent increase in the price of good X results in a 20 percent decrease in the quantity of good Y demanded, which of the following is true? Good X and good Y are complementary goods, and the cross-price elasticity is -0.5. Good X and good Y are substitute goods, and the income elasticity is +2. Good X and good Y are complementary goods, and the cross-price elasticity is -2. Good X and good Y are normal goods, and the income elasticity is +2. Good X and good Y are substitute goods, and the cross-price elasticity is -2. The following question is based on the output and cost data in the table below. Quantity of Output Produced (units) Total Variable Cost ($) Total Cost ($)

If the price of good X increases by 1.6% and the quantity demanded of good Y decreases by 2.3%, what is the cross price elasticity of demand. Are the two goods substitutes or complements?
Last month, sellers of good Y took in $100 in total revenue on sales of 50 units of good Y. This month sellers of good Y raised their price and took in $120 in total revenue on sales of 40 units of good Y. At the same time, the price of good X stayed the same, but sales of good X increased from 20 units to 40 units. We can conclude that goods X and Y area. They are substitutes, and have a cross-price elasticity of 0.60. b. They are complements, and have a cross-price elasticity of 0.60. c. They are substitutes, and have a cross-price elasticity of 1.67. d. They are complements, and have a cross-price elasticity of 1.67.
