Determine the demand curve for the product

Reference no: EM13175649

The demand curve for a product is given by Qdx= 1,200 - 3Px + .01Pz where Pz = $300.

a. What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = $140? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? What would happen to the firm's revenue if it decided to charge a price below $140?

b. What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = $240? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? What would happen to the firm's revenue if it decided to charge a price above $240?

c. What is the cross-price elasticity of demand between good X and good Z when Px = $140? Are goods X and Z substitutes or complements?
