2. Assume that you know the following demand elasticity values for good X: (1) Own-price demand elasticity, Ea.is -70 (2) Cross-price demand elasticity, Ey, is -20 (3) Income demand elasticity, Exi, is 0.8 Assume further: (4) Initially, P = $20/unit, Py = $10/unit (5) Average 1 - $40,000 (6) Total X consumed is 2,000 units. In your calculations, use point elasticity, not are elasticity! (a) If Px increases to $20.50, how much X will be consumed? (b) If P, increases to $10.15 (and Px - $20.00 again), how will the consumption of X be affected? Are goods X and Y complements or substitutes in consumption? (c) Now Px is $20.00, and P, is $10.00 again, but average income rises by $100. How will the consumption of X be affected
