Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, if a 30% increase in the price causes a 15% decrease in the quantity demanded, then this would give a price elasticity of demand equal to 0.5 in absolute terms.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cross‐price elasticity of demand is given by the formula: If the percentage change in the quantity demanded of good X is greater than the percentage change in the price of good Y, the demand for good X is cross‐price elastic with respect to good Y, or very responsive to changes in the price of good Y.
Detailed explanation-3: -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..
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: A cross-price elasticity greater than zero implies a positive cross-price elasticity. For substitute goods, the cross-price elasticity of demand is always positive. This implies that as the price of one good increases, the demand for the other good, which is a substitute, increases.
