The demand for good X is estimated to be Qxd = 10,000 − 4PX + 5PY + 2M + AX, where PX is the price of X,PY is the price of good Y,M is income,and AX is the amount of advertising on X.Suppose the present price of good X is $50,PY = $100,M = $25,000,and AX = 1,000 units.Based on this information,the income elasticity of good X is:

(Multiple Choice)
4.9/5

The demand for good X has been estimated to be ln Qxd = 100 − 2.5 ln PX + 4 ln PY + ln M.The advertising elasticity of good X is:
