  1. How is tomato related to cabbage? 
  2. Compute and interpret the cross elasticity of supply of cabbage with respect to the dealer’s price of complete fertilizer.
  3. If the price of complete fertilizer increases by 20 percent, by how much will the supply of cabbage change, holding other factors constant?
Assume the following supply function for cabbage and the mean values of the variables:
Qs = 25,000 + 120 Pc - 32 Pt - 5 Pf - 100 W + ε
Mean Values:
Qs = 1,000 kg
Pc = PhP 20/kg
KhP6/kg
Pf= Php 1,200/bag
W = Php 330/day
Pt=PhP
Where: Qs = quantity supplied of cabbage (kg), Pc = farmgate price of cabbage (PhP/kg), Pt =
farmgate price of tomato (PhP/kg), Pf= dealer's price of complete fertilizer (Php/bag), W = wage
rate in agriculture (PhP/day), and & = error term.
