Own price elasticity or cross-price elasticity


Question 1. Own Price elasticity or cross-price elasticity.  Given a table of the price(s) and quantities before the price rises, how do you compute the POINT (or ARC) elasticity of demand of a good as its price rises.

PLEASE SHOW FORMULA AND WORK

Solve this problem for each one of these forms:
     -Own-Price elasticity by point method
     -Own-Price elasticity by arc method
     -Cross-Price elasticity by point method
     -Cross-Price elasticity by arc method

For own-price elasticity, state whether the demand for this good is elastic or inelastic.

For cross-price elasticity, state whether the goods are substitutes or complements.

Question 2. A table like the one below is given, plus a wage and a cost of capital.  The problem is to fill in the BLANKS.   Put formulas in the cells above the variable names.  Do not enter formulas in cells with "///"  in them.
