The cross-price elasticity for hamburger demand with respect to the price of hamburger buns is - 0.6 . If the price of hamburger buns rises by 5%, ceteris paribus, what change will occur for hamburger consumption? What is the relationship of these goods? Why?
What might increase the demand for hamburgers? What would increase the supply? What would inexpensive frozen pizzas do to the market equilibrium for hamburgers? To the wages of teenagers who work at McDonald's?
Consider the demand for hamburgers. If the price of a substitute good (for example, hot dogs) increases and the price of a complement good (for example, hamburger buns) increases, can you tell for sure what will happen to the demand for hamburgers? Why or why not? Illustrate your answer with a graph.
