Demanded) / (%t Change in Price)
Cross Elasticity of Demand Formula CORRECT ANSWER (% Change in Quantity Demanded) / (% Change in Price of Substitute or Complement)
Income Elasticity of Demand Formula CORRECT ANSWER (% Change in Quantity Demanded) / (% Change in Income)
Price Elasticity of Supply Formula CORRECT ANSWER (% Change in Quantity Supplied) / (% Change in Price)
Elasticity of Demand Factors CORRECT ANSWER 1) Availability of Substitute; 2) Relative amount of income spent on the good; 3) Time SINCE price change
Elasticity of Supply Factors CORRECT ANSWER 1) Available substitutes for resources (inputs) used to produce the goods; (2) the time that has elapsed since the
price change

of Money) = (Change in Monetary Base) x (Money Multiplier)
Equation of Exchange Formula CORRECT ANSWER = (Money supply) x (Velocity) = GDP = (Price) x (Real Output)
Quantity Theory of Money Formula CORRECT ANSWER Price = M (V/Y)
