Note: Write down all of your calculations. According to our Textbooks and given information‚ When P = 8000‚ A = 64‚ PX = 9000‚ I = 5000‚ we can use regression equation‚ QD = 20000 - 10*8000 + 1500*64 + 5*9000 + 10*5000 = 131‚000 Price elasticity = (P/Q)*(dQ/dP) From regression equation‚ dQ/dP = -10. So‚ price
