The following table lists the cross elasticity of demand for several goods, where the percentage quantity change is measured for the first good of the pair, and the percentage price change is measured for the second good.
Good Cross elasticity of demand
Air-conditioning units and kilowatts of electricity -0.34
Coke and Pepsi 0.63
High-fuel-consuming SUVs and gasoline -0.28
McDonald’s burgers and Harvey burgers 0.82
Butter and Margarine 1.54
1.Explain the sign of each of the cross elasticities. What does it imply about relationship between the two goods in questions.
2. Compare the absolute value of the cross elasticities and explain their magnitudes. For example, why is the cross elasticity of demand of McDonald’s burgers and Harvey’s burgers less than cross elasticity of butter and margarine?
