Px=2, Py=3, I=300 compute the income elasticity of deman for both X and Y at that point. compute an approximate cross price elasticity of demand for Y when Px canges from 5 to 6. Note this is an 20% increase in the price of X.

qty price 20 $5. 15 $6. how do we interpret the elasticity measure in this example? Is the price esasticity of demand ilastic, inelistic or unitary?

Price elasticity of Demand Quantity Price Elasticity Demanded 100 $ 5 80 $10 60 $15 40 $20 20 $25 10 $30 1. Determine the price elasticity of demand at each quantity demanded using the formula % chg in QD...
