Question: The demand for imported Honda automobiles is given by the following equation:

QH = 1200 - 20PH + 10PC + 200PG

The price of Hondas, PH   = 60, the price of Chevrolets, PC = 70, and the price of gasoline, PG = 1.5.

(b) For each of Chevrolets and gasoline, is it a substitute or complement for Hondas?

(c) Calculate consumer surplus at the revenue-maximizing price for Hondas.
