Respuesta :

Answer:

the cross elasticity of demand between a Pepsi and Coca-Cola is  5

Explanation:

The computation of the cross elasticity of demand is shown below:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded of one product ÷ percentage change in the price of other product

= -50 ÷ -10

= 5

Hence, the cross elasticity of demand between a Pepsi and Coca-Cola is  5

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered
