If oranges yield rose by 1.8%, but sales in dollars went down 3.6%. Are oranges prices elastic? Or price inelastic? Explain. If a specialty orange yield went up by 22%, and sales in dollars went up 4.6%. What is the cross price elasticity of orange varieties?

If a 12 percent rise in the price of orange juice decreases the quantity of orange juice demanded by 22 percent and increases the quantity of apple juice demanded by 14 percent, calculate the a. Price elasticity of demand for orange juice. b. Cross elasticity of demand for apple juice with respect to the price of orange juice.
Suppose the cross-price elasticity of apples with respect to the price of oranges is 0.4, and the price of oranges falls by $3\%$. What will happen to the demand for apples?
