What is the Cross-price elasticity?

It shows how much the demand for a good is affected by a price change in a related good.

It is calculated as:

= Change in quantity demanded of one good / Change in price of the other good

= 36% / 14%

= 2.57

In conclusion, the cross-price elasticity is 2.57.
