Assume that demand for product A can be expressed as Q A = 500 5P A
Question:
Assume that demand for product A can be expressed as QA = 500 – 5PA + 3PB and demand for product B can be expressed as QB = 300 – 2PB + PA . Currently, market prices and quantities for these goods are PA = 5, PB = 2, QA = 481, and QB = 301.
a. Suppose the price of product B increases to 3. What happens to the quantity demanded of both products?
