Cross elasticity: Ey,x= %change in quantity demanded of product Y/ %change in price of product X %change in quantity demanded of product Y = (25/20 -1) *100% = 25% %change in price of product X = (9/10-1)*100%= -10% Ey,x= 25%/(-10%) = -2.5 If the cross elasticity of demand is negative than goods are complements. When price on X decreases the Demand for Y increases
