Using regression analysis on data from a field experiment, the demand curve for a product

3. Using regression analysis on data from a field experiment, the demand curve for a product is estimated to be 

Q_X^d=1,200-3P_X-0.1P_Z

 where Pz = $300. 

(a) What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = $140? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? What would happen to the firm's revenue (increase or decrease) if it decided to charge a price below $140?

(b) What is the cross-price elasticity of demand between good X and good Z when Px = $140? Are goods X and Z substitutes or complements?

For both (a) and (b) you have to calculate the elasticity at a point on the demand curve. Look at example on page 89-90 of the textbook.

Hint
Economics  a)Price elasticity of demand is the proportion of the rate change in amount requested of an item to the rate change in cost. Financial specialists utilize it to comprehend how market interest change when an item's cost changes....
