Suppose we find that the cross-price elasticity of demand for two products is a negative number. We know that
the two goods are complements
the two goods are normal goods
the two goods are substitutes
the two goods are inferior goods
If the cross elasticity of demand between two products is +3.5, then
the two products are complements
the two products are substitutes
one of the products is expensive and one is relatively inexpensive
one product is a normal good and the other is an inferior good
The price of Toyota cars falls by 8% and in the following time period, the demand for Nissan cars declines by 2%. The cross price elasticity of demand for Nissan cars is
+2.0
+0.25
+0.5
-0.25
The price of fresh pasta increases by 30% and as a result the demand for red wine falls by 3%, we can conclude from this information that
the two goods are close substitutes
the two goods are weak substitutes
the two goods are close complements
the two goods are weak complements
The table below shows the estimated price and cross price elasticities of demand for beer, wine and spirits From the table we can deduce that
The demand for beer is price elastic
The demand for wine is price inelastic
Beer and Wine are close substitutes
Wine and Spirits are weak complements
Suppose that the demand for ink jet printers increases by 15% following a 30% decline in the market price of home computers, we can conclude from this information that
