Practice: Cross-Elasticity of Demand
When the price of Ford pickup trucks rises from $18,000 to $19,000, the quantity of Chevy trucks demanded increases from 112,000 to 144,000. Using the midpoint (average) method, what is the cross elasticity of demand between Ford and Chevy trucks?
The price of peaches at a market rises from $3.95 to $4.05 per kilo, and as a result the quantity of plums that consumers purchase increases from 4950 to 5050 kilos per week. The arc cross-price elasticity is:
