Sony TV price decreases from LE 1‚000 to LE 800‚ consumers increases their quantity demand from 100‚000 units / month to 120‚000 units / month. Calculate the price elasticity of demand (PED). Also‚ while this is happening‚ the price LG TV increases from LE 500 to LE 600‚ calculate the cross-price elasticity. PED = (Q2 - Q1 / Q1) / (P2 - P1 / P1) = (20‚000 / 100‚000) / (-200 / 1‚000) = (0.2 / -0.2) = - 1 Unit Elastic CPED = (Q2 - Q1 / Q1) / (Py2 - Py1 / Py1) = (20‚000 / 100‚000) / (-100 / 500)
