question 110

Short Answer

Scenario 5-3
​
Suppose the demand function for good X is given by:
$$Q _ { d x } = 15 - 0.5 P _ { x } - 0.8 P _ { y }$$ where
$$Q _ { d x }$$ is the quantity demanded of good X,
$$P _ { x }$$ is the price of good X, and
$$P _ { y }$$ is the price of good Y, which is related to good X.
-Refer to Scenario 5-2. Good X and Good Y are related as
