An advertising campaign for Rita’s Rhubarb Pies convinces consumers that the pies of competitors are poor substitutes. For Rita’s pies, we would expect price elasticity to _________ and cross elasticity with competitors to _________.
| a. | decrease; increase | b. | increase; decrease |
|---|---|---|---|
| c. | decrease; decrease | d. | increase; increase |
Homework Answers
If Rita's Rhubarb Pies convinces consumers that other pies are poor substitutes, then it creates more demand for its product by reducing switching of consumers when it increases price. Therefore, own-price elasticity should decrease and the demand will become relatively inelastic. However, the cross-price elasticity should increase as more people will switch to have Rita's pie if other competitors increase price. Option a) is correct.

For each scenario, calculate the cross-price elasticity between the two goods and identify how the goods are related. Please use the midpoint method when applicable, and specify answers to one decimal place. A 20% price increase for Product A causes a 10% decrease in its quantity demanded, but no change in the quantity demanded for Product B. cross-price elasticity between A and B: relationship between A and B: no relationship Product Cincreases...
