Under which of the following scenarios is it most likely that a monopoly power will be exhibited by firms? 1. When there are few firms in the market and the demand curve faced by each firm is relatively inelastic. 2. When there are many firms I. The market and the demand curve faced by each firm is relatively inelastic. 3. When there are few firms in the market and the demand curve faced by each firm relatively elastic. 4. When there are many firms in the market and the demand curve faced by each firm is relatively elastic. 5. When there are many firms in the market and the interaction between them is very strong.

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 Yis -4. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change if: 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.
