Answer:

d. the quantity demanded of one good changes in response to a change in the price of another good

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are substitute goods.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.  

If the cross-price elasticity is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods.

Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together

Example 1

If the percentage change in good A is 10% and the percentage change in quantity demanded of good B is -20%. Cross price elasticity = -20%/ 10% = -2. the goods are complementary goods

Example 2

If the percentage change in good A is 20% and the percentage change in quantity demanded of good B is 80%. Cross price elasticity = 80%/ 20% = 4. the goods are substitute goods goods

Answer the below case problem, giving the legal issue, the governing law and the rationale in support of your conclusion.
Arthur Jensen, Inc., was a corporation engaged in the housing construction business.
Arthur Jensen set up and was the sole owner and president of the corporation. Alaska Valuation Service [AVS] conducted housing appraisals for Jensen on numerous occasions over the years. When AVS took the orders for appraisals, it was not aware that it was dealing with a corporation. It believed that it was dealing directly with Jensen [i.e., as a sole proprietor]. Jensen never specifically informed AVS of his status as the president of Arthur Jensen, Inc. When AVS was not paid for appraisal services that it had performed, AVS sued Arthur Jensen, attempting to hold him personally liable for the unpaid appraisals.
Arthur Jensen argued that he could not be personally liable because he had acted on behalf of his corporation.
1. Decide the case based on the above stated facts.
2. Assuming Arthur Jensen could be held personally liable, how could Arthur
Jensen have better protected himself? [we discussed this in class]
