1. Compute the elasticities for each independent variable. Note: Write down all of your calculations. When P = 500‚ C = 600‚ I = 5500‚ A = 10000 and M = 5000‚ using regression equation‚ QD = -5200 - 42*500 + 20*600 + 5.2*5500 + 0.2*10000 + 0.25*5000 = 17650 Price elasticity = (P/Q)*(dQ/dP) From regression equation‚ dQ/dP = -42. So‚ price elasticity EP= (P/Q) * (-42) = (-42) * (500 / 17650) = -1.19 Likewise‚ EC = 20 * 600 / 17650 = 0.68 EI = 5.2 * 5500 / 17650 = 1.62
