3. You have a website which allows visitors to quickly create slideshows with audio using pictures they find on the internet .(for now, let's not think about the copyright implications) You also sell a much more robust and powerful program with many more features as a download. It is reasonable to assume that people will use the free website instead of buying the program. It is also reasonable to assume that people who like the free site for quick, simple projects, would use the paid version when they need a more sophisticated product and are willing to put the time into creating it. You are very interested in which of these two possibilities is the more common.
a. You find that after you raise the price of the paid version from $20 to $23, the number of users on the free site goes from 1000/day to 1150/day. What is the cross-price elasticity of these two goods? The % difference in quantity is (diff/avg) ________The % difference in Price is(diff/avg) _________ The income elasticity of demand is________.
