The demand for good X is given by QXd = 6,000 - (1/2)PX - PY + 9PZ + (1/10)M Research shows that the prices of related goods are given by Py = $6,500 and Pz = $100, while the average income of individuals consuming this product is M = $70,000. a. Indicate whether goods Y and Z are substitutes or complements for good X b. Is X an inferior or a normal good? c. How many units of good X...
The demand for good X is given by QXd = 6,000 - (1/2)PX - PY + 9PZ + (1/10)M Research shows that the prices of related goods are given by Py = $6,500 and Pz = $100, while the average income of individuals consuming this product is M = $70,000. a. Indicate whether goods Y and Z are substitutes or complements for good X. Good Y is: (Click to select) a substitute neither complement nor substitute a complement .

An economic consultant for X Corp. recently provided the firm’s marketing manager with this estimate of the demand function for the firm’s product: Q d x = 98 − 4Px + 6Py − 1M where Qd x represents the amount consumed of good X, Px is the price of good X, Py is the price of good Y , and M is income. Suppose good Y sells for $2 per unit and consumer income is $10. (a) Are goods X and Y substitutes...
The market for good X consists of 2 consumers. Consumer 1’s demand for good X is: X1 = 15 - 3PX + 0.5PY + .02 *I1 Consumer 2's demand for X is: X2 = 10 - PX + 0.2PY + .01*I2 I1 and I2 are incomes of consumer 1 and 2, respectively. PX and PY are the prices of goods X and Y, respectively. a. What is the equation for the market demand function for X? Graph the two individual...
A consumer buys two goods, good X and a composite good Y. The utility function is given as U(X,Y) = In3XY. The price of X is Py, the price of Y is Py and Income is I. 1) Derive the demand equation for good X. ( 5 marks) 2) Are the two goods X and Y complements or substitutes? Why? ( 5 marks) 3) Suppose that I=$10 and suppose that initially the Px = $1 and subsequently Px falls and...
The demand for your product X has been estimated to be Qx = 7, 880 − 4Px − 2Py + Pz − 0.1M where Y and Z are other (related) products. The relevant price and income data are as follows: Px = 10, Py = 15, Pz = 50, M = 40, 000 (Please show work and answers to questions a-e) a. Which goods are substitutes for X? Which are complements? b. Is X an inferior or a normal good?...
Consider the following demand function for good 'X': Q = 9 -0.1px - Py + 0.01p2 +0.001Y, where Own price, Px = $120 Quantity demanded = 13.75 Price of a related good, Py = $6 Price of a related good, Pz = $275 Consumer income, Y = $20,000 The income elasticity of demand, s, when equilibrium quantity is 13.75 units and income is $20,000 is equal to : (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to three decimal...
4. Assume that the demand for a product X is heavily influenced by the price of another product Y (Py), and the income of consumers (I). The cross-price elasticity of X with respect to Y is ex 1.25, and the income elasticity is e 2. (1) Are X and Y complements or substitutes? Why? (2) Is X a normal or inferior good? (3) Suppose now Py decreases by 5%, and consumer income decreases by 1%. will the quantity demanded of...
Question 2 Suppose the demand for DVD players (good X) is given by * = 1200 - 22+ 3P– 82, +16M Are goods Y and Z substitutes or complements of good X? Is good X an inferior or a normal good? What is the quantity demanded of good X, if research shows that P,= 500, P,= 400, P=10, M=10,000? Determine the demand function and the inverse demand function for good X. Draw the demand curve. If the price level is...
Question The demand for good X is given by Ox 1,200-Px - 2y +4Pz+02M, where Py is the price of good Y. Pz is the price of good Z and M is income. If Py = $800, Pz = $200, and M= $5,000, what is the inverse demand function for good X? Explain your answer to get full credir! TTTT Paragraph y = - - Arial = - T - = = =
