For a demand function Qaf (P), a change in price causes a change in the quantity demanded. There are other five (5) variables, enumerate and explain each variable influencing demand in the general demand function. These are fixed at specific values for a given demand equation.
Suppose the price of salt increases by 25 percent and, as a result, the quantity of pepper demanded (holding the price of pepper constant) increases by 3 percent. The cross-price elasticity of demand between salt and pepper is || (Enter your response rounded to two decim places and include a minus sign if appropriate.)

(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
