i ) using the information provided above , determine the cross price elasticity of demand following the " ARC " form as we dont have an equation to work here .
ii). given the sign of your calculation , explain carefully .. 1 ) the type of relationship between the re opened movie theatres and the new drive in movie theatres .. AND 2 ) the interpretation of the elasticity value calculated .
