  1. What is cross price elasticity of demand?
  2. Explain any five factors that determine the demand of a product in the market.
  3. Consumers for product Y will demand 1500 units when the selling price is USD 20 per unit but the demand will increase by 10% if the price decreases by 5%.

(i) Calculate the price elasticity of demand for product Y using point method.

(ii) Suppose you were the producer-seller of product Y, what would this price elasticity suggest for your price policy?

  1. What is a price consumption curve?
  2. Consider the following utility function for MR. CHAKUPEWA: U(X,Y)=2XY+X. The marginnal utilities of X and Y are ext{MU}_{X}=2Y+1 and ext{MU}_{Y}=2X respectively. The price of commodity Y is 100 TZS per unit, and the price of commodity Y is 200 TZS per unit. Suppose that MR.CHAKUPEWA`s income is 3000 TZS, answer the following questions.
  1. Calculate the units of X and Y that could be consumed if all the income was spent on either commodity X or Y only.
  2. Write MR.CHAKUPEWA`s budget line equation
  3. Calculate MR.CHAKUPEWA`s optimal consumption level.
  4. Sketch MR>CHAKUPEWA`s budget line and indifference curve by indicating his equilibrium consumption bundle.
  5. What will happen if the price of X decreases by 50% while the price of Y remains constant? Give comments.
