2] Merrick goes to the farmer's market to buy exotic fruit. Last week, he bought 15 rambutan at 20 cents each. This week, rambutan prices increased to 30 cents each, and Merrick buys only 10 rambutan but increases the quantity of star fruit purchased by 100%. Next week, his income increases by 50% because of overtime pay, and he increases his rambutan purchases back to 15. Identify and calculate the different measures of elasticity that can be determined in this example (use the midpoint method). 2-1-1] Calculate own price elasticity of "rambutan". 2-1-2] Interpret the result of own price elasticity. 2 2-2-1] Calculate cross-price elasticity between "rambutan". 2-2-2] Interpret the result of cross-price elasticity. 2-3-1] Calculate "income elasticity of rambutan" 2-3-2] Interpret the result of income elasticity. 2] Merrick goes to the farmer's market to buy exotic fruit.
