benefits. Barley‚ a high-fiber and high-protein grain‚ is one of the most important and common cereal grains used for human food.

When it is hulled‚ it is tan in color and oval shaped. When cooked‚ barley has a rich nutlike flavor and a desirable chewy‚ pasta-like texture‚ which is the result of its gluten content. When barley is fermented

(i) What is meant by ’cross-price elasticity of demand’? It is a measure of the responsiveness of demand for a good to a change in the price of another good. This good can either be a substitute good or complementary good. (ii) Comment on the cross-price elasticity of demand between platinum and gold. When the price of platinum rises demand for gold rises. Because gold can be a substitute for platinum people will want to buy gold more when the price of platinum increases. (b)

Price Elasticity of Demand Mark Vines 05/14/2011 DeVry University The demand for corn as an ingredient for an alternative energy source has had a profound effect on its supply as a core food ingredient. So‚ what has been the effect on the supply of corn and its substitute such as the soybean? The answer can be found by examining the five demand determinants and five supply determinants to see which ones will shift demand and supply. The demand determinants are known as T-I-P-E-N‚

Price elasticity of demand (PED) is a measure of how much the quantity demanded changes when there is a change in the price of the product. It can be calculated using the formula: PED= Percentage change in Qd of the product/ Percentage change in price of the product. When determining the price elasticity of demand‚ there are many possible outcomes which range from zero to infinity. If the PED value is between zero and one‚ then elasticity is said to be “Inelastic”‚ meaning there would be less
