The quantity demanded of cereal increased from 1,350 to 1,700 when the price of milk decreased from $2.05 to $1.65. What is the estimated cross-price elasticity of demand for cereal? Include a minus sign if elasticity is a negative number. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

-1.33

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good X to changes in price of good Y.

Cross price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / percentage change in price of good Y

Percentage change in quantity demanded = (1700 / 1350) - 1 = 0.2593 = 25.93%

Percentage change in price = (1.65 / 2.05) - 1 = -0.1951 = -19.51%

25.93% / -19.51% = -1.33
