given above, demand function is, Q = -5200 – 42P + 20PX + 5.2I + 0.20A + 0.25M For the given values of the independent variables, the quantity demanded is, Q = -5200 – 42(500) + 20(600) + 5.2(5500) + 0.20(10000) + 0.25(5000) = 17,650 Calculate the price elasticity of demand = -42 (500/17650) = -1.1898 Calculate demand elasticity for advertising = 0.20 (10,000/17650) = 0.1133 Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand = 20 (600/17650) = 0.6798 Calculate the income elasticity of demand =…
