a) The price coefficient of good 2 is -3.2. It is negative which indicates that if P2 rises, Q1 will fall. Hence good 1 and good 2 are complements. This is because when price of a good increases, its consumption is reduced which means the consumption / quantity demanded of its complement also decreases (both are consumed together, less of one good implies less of the other).
b) Quantity demanded is Q1 = 50 - 4*1.20 - 3.2*3.50 + 0.01*15000 = 184
Cross price elasticity = dQ1/dP2 * P2/Q1
= -3.2*3.50/184
= -0.061

Q3. The general linear demand for good X is estimated to be Q = 25,000 - 80P-0.25M + 72P (6 Pts) where P is the price of good X, M is average income of consumers who buy good X, and P, is the price of related good R. The values of P, M, and P, are expected to be $100, $35,000, and $60, respectively. Use these values at this point on demand to make the following computations. a. Compute the...

The estimated demand for a good Is Q 3,600- 12P+ 0.6M- 2.5PR where Q Is the quantity demanded of the good, Pis the price of the good, Mis Income, and P Is the price of related good R. This good and good Rare O substitutes because the coefficlent on P Is negative. O complements because the coefficlent on MIs positive. O substitutes because the coefficlent on M Is positive. O complements because the coefficlent on PR Is negative.
