2. XED =

= 0.9 *they are substitute goods

3. XED =

= - 1 *they are complementary good

5. YED =

= 1.1 *they are Normal goods

Product whose supply changes greatly when the is slight price change

Price Inelastic supply

Product whose supply changes slightly when there is great price change

9. PES =

= 1.5 * Elastic

* Little change in price, big change in QS
