2. Suppose demand for inkjet printers is estimated to be Q=1000-5p+10pX -2pZ +0.1Y,
where p is the price of inkjet printers, pX and pZ are prices of other products, and Y is the level of income. If p = 80, pX = 50, pZ = 150, and Y = 20, 000; answer the following:
- (a) What is the price elasticity of demand?
- (b) Whatisthecross-priceelasticitywithrespecttogoodX?Giveanexampleofwhat commodity X might be in this context, i.e. that its price has the impact you just calculated on the demand for inkjet printers.
- (c) What is the cross-price elasticity with respect to commodity Z? Give an example of what commodity Z might be in this context, i.e. that its price has the impact you just calculated on the demand for inkjet printers.
- (d) What is the income elasticity?
