The demand curve for a product is given by Q = 10 - 2P + Ps.
P is the product's price, and 'Ps' is the price of a substitute good. The price of substitute goods is $2.
Now demand curve is Q = 10 - 2P + 2
Q = 12 - 2P...............................(1)
(a) Suppose the price of good 'P' is given equally to $1, then demand would be Q = 12 - 2*1
Q = 10 units
Price elasticity of demand = \DeltaQ/\DeltaP * P/Q
\DeltaQ/\DeltaP is the slope of the demand curve. We can calculate the slope from the demand curve. The first derivative of the demand curve will be the slope of the demand curve.
Q = 10 - 2P + Ps
\DeltaQ/\DeltaP = - 2
Therefore, the price elasticity of demand is Ed = -2 * 1/10
Ed = 0.2 is the price elasticity of demand.
For cross-price elasticity, we will differentiate the demand curve concerning the price of substitute goods.
Q = 10 - 2P + Ps
\DeltaQ/\DeltaPs = 1
Cross price elasticity = \DeltaQ/\DeltaPs * Ps/Q
Cross price elasticity = 1 * 2/10
Cross price elasticity = 0.2
(b) Suppose the good's price is 'P' = $2 and Ps is constant at $2. The slope of the demand curve will remain the same as before. Demand will be,
Q = 10 - 2*2 + 2
Q = 8 units
Now price elasticity = - 2 * 2/8
Ed = 0.5 this price elasticity.
Cross price elasticity = 1 * 2/8
Cross price elasticity = 0.25
