Suppose the cross-price elasticity between demand for Burger King burgers and the price of McDonald's burgers is 0.8. If McDonald's increases the price of its burgers by 10%, then:

Burger King will sell 10% more burgers.

Burger King will sell 8% more burgers.

Burger King will sell 8% fewer burgers.

McDonald's will sell 8% fewer burgers.

Burger King will sell 80% more burgers.

Suppose you manage a convenience mart and are in charge of ordering products but do not set the price. In your area, the income elasticity of demand for peanut butter is –0.5. Due to local factory closings, you expect local incomes to decrease by 20%, on average, in the next month. As a result, you should stock:

20% more peanut butter on the shelves.

5% less peanut butter on the shelves.

10% more peanut butter on the shelves.

10% less peanut butter on the shelves.

20% less peanut butter on the shelves.

The cross-price elasticity of electricity with respect to the price of natural gas has been estimated as being equal to 0.2. This implies that:

natural gas and electricity are both normal goods.

electricity and natural gas are complements.

electricity and natural gas are both luxury goods.

one of the two goods is inferior while the other is normal, but we need additional information to determine which of them is inferior.

electricity and natural gas are substitutes.
