The The demand function for Good X is defined as Qx = 75 -
2Px - 1.5Py where Py is the price of Good Y. Calculate the
price elasticity of demand using the point formula for Px = 20
and Py = 10. Determine whether demand is elastic, inelastic, or
unit elastic with respect to its own price and whether Good Y is
a substitute or a complement with respect to Good X.
First we must solve the function to get our first point in
determining the price elasticity of demand. Qx=75-40-15 = 20.

Now, we need to find another point to display a delta. Suppose
the price of Good X increased by 20%. The demand function
value would now be Qx=75-2(24)-15= 12.

12-20 = -8. For a 20% increase in price, demand quantity falls
by 8.

-8/20 x 1 = -40% decrease in demand.

7. Price elasticity of demand = -40/15 = -2 2/3. Since the value is
less than -1, then the demand is said to be elastic.

To determine if Good Y is a substitute or complement to Good
X, we can increase the price for Y by 60%. The demand
function value would now be Qx= 75-2(20)-1.5(16) = 11

= (11-20)/20 = -45%

Cross Price of Elasticity would be written as =-(45/11)/(60/16)

The cross price of elasticity would = -1.09091

Good Y is a complementary to Good X because the value of the
Exy is negative because an increase in Py led to a reduction in
the quantity demanded of X.

1. How important is saving for a household and the economy?
How much should be saved?
Saving is extremely important to a household, as well as the
economy. People’s personal savings directly influences how
much they are prepared for future economic events or
emergencies. Putting money aside each pay period into savings
accounts also helps the economy through the banking industry.
The more people use bank savings accounts, the more money
the bank has on hand to invest in businesses or purchase
Treasury bonds. Those who choose to consume most or all of
their income between paydays are stimulating the economy in a
way, but are putting themselves in a bad situation personally.
“According to the Life Cycle Income Hypothesis, income varies
systematically (predictably) over the person’s lifetime”
(Samavati, Adilov, & Dilts, 2013, p.48). When the US economy
went south during 2008 and 2009, a lot people and businesses
were affected. Some folks lost their jobs, had houses foreclosed
on, and because some lived beyond their means and expected a
paycheck, they were left with nothing. These times clearly

8. changed attitudes toward saving money.

Course Project Part 1: Informative Speech Outline
COM115 Course Project
The outline is one of the most central elements necessary for a
good oral presentation. Outlines should include several major
elements:
•The thesis statement (main idea) of your speech
•The main points you will use to support your thesis statement
•The way you will organize your ideas throughout the speech
•The transitions you will use to move from one idea to another
throughout the presentation
•Any references that will be used in the presentation (keep in
mind that the "bag" speech is a personal speech, therefore,
references are usually not required in this speech choice)

Additionally, by helping you to have the content organized for
your speech, the outline will allow you to focus more time on
delivering the presentation.

Here is your informative speech topic:
Any Old Bag Will Do – This speech involves filling any old bag
of your choice with three items. The bag and each item chosen
should symbolize something about your life: the first item
should represent something from your past, the second from the
present, and the third item representing something about your
future. The bag itself should also symbolize something of

9. significance about you. In other words, each item and the bag
become the four main points of your speech. You will display
each item one at a time and explain how these items and the bag
represent you and your life.
