If the cross-price elasticity of demand between Good A and Good B is 2 and the percentage change in price of Good A is 5 percent, what is the percentage change in quantity demanded of Good B?

Respuesta :

Options:

A. 3 percent

B. 1.50 percent

C. 10 percent

D. -3 percent

E. -1.25 percent

Answer:C. 10%.

Explanation:Cross elasticity of demand is a term used in economics to describe the rate of response to the Quantity demanded for a good or service due to a change in price of another goods or service.

The cross elasticity of demand can also be called THE CROSS-PRICE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND.

It can be calculated as follows.

Cross elasticity of demand= percentage change in the Quantity demanded for one good÷percentage change in the price of another goods

2=X/5%

The percentage change in Quantity demanded for goods B will be equal to 10%.
