(i) What is meant by ’cross-price elasticity of demand’? It is a measure of the responsiveness of demand for a good to a change in the price of another good. This good can either be a substitute good or complementary good. (ii) Comment on the cross-price elasticity of demand between platinum and gold. When the price of platinum rises demand for gold rises. Because gold can be a substitute for platinum people will want to buy gold more when the price of platinum increases. (b)

What is the formula for measuring price elasticity of demand? Percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price When the price elasticity coefficient is less than 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded is smaller than the change in price. When the price elasticity coefficient is equal to 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the change in price. When the price elasticity coefficient is greater than 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded

effect of gasoline price increases in the aftermath of the Persian Gulf crisis in August 1990 on gasoline consumption was not very significant.

Based on the law of demand define the typical relationship between the price and quantity demands. Consumer would tend to purchase more when the price is low and lesser when the price of gasoline is

Price elasticity of demand (PED) is a measure of how much the quantity demanded changes when there is a change in the price of the product. It can be calculated using the formula: PED= Percentage change in Qd of the product/ Percentage change in price of the product. When determining the price elasticity of demand‚ there are many possible outcomes which range from zero to infinity. If the PED value is between zero and one‚ then elasticity is said to be “Inelastic”‚ meaning there would be less
