ELASTICITY OF DEMAND

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
% Change in Quantity Demanded of Product C / % Change in Quantity Demanded of Product X.The above equation gives rise to:
A
Income Elasticity of Demand
B
Cross Elasticity of Demand
C
Price Elasticity of Demand
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Formula to measure cross elasticity of demand: E= Percentage change in demand of commodity X/ Percentage change in price of commodity Y. Q.

Detailed explanation-2: -The growth rate, or percentage change in quantity demanded, would be the change in quantity demanded [Math Processing Error] divided by the average of the two quantities demanded: [Math Processing Error] ( 103 + 100 ) 2 .

Detailed explanation-3: -Price elasticity measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded or supplied of a good to a change in its price. It is computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded-or supplied-divided by the percentage change in price.

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition: Cross elasticity (Exy) tells us the relationship between two products. it measures the sensitivity of quantity demand change of product X to a change in the price of product Y. Price elasticity formula: Exy = percentage change in Quantity demanded of X / percentage change in Price of Y..
