Relationships of Changes in Price‚ Price Elasticity and Total Revenue 1. By definition‚ total revenue (TR) is obtained by multiplying quantity demanded of a product (Qx) by price (Px)‚ that is‚ TR = Qx Px. (1) In class‚ by taking the derivative of the above total revenue equation with respect to price (dTR/dPx)‚ we obtain the following general functional relation: dTR/dPx = Qx (1 + Ep) (2). In Equation (2)‚ Ep represents the price elasticity of demand. Since

(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
