Given the demand function Q_X = 1500 - 100P_X + 75P_Y + 1.5I + .06A where P_Y = $40.00. I = $2500, and A = $5,000. For the range from P_X = $60.00 to P_X = $75.00, the arc price elasticity of demand is - 7.05.

The arc price elasticity of demand formula is: $E_d = \frac{\Delta Q / Q_{avg}}{\Delta P / P_{avg}}$, where $\Delta Q$ is the change in quantity demanded, $Q_{avg}$ is the average quantity demanded, $\Delta P$ is the change in price, and $P_{avg}$ is the average price. Given the demand function and the specific values for $P_Y$, $I$, and $A$, we can calculate the quantity demanded at both prices ($60.00 and $75.00) but without specific calculations provided in the question, we cannot directly confirm the elasticity value of -7.05. The elasticity depends on the change in quantity demanded and the average quantity demanded over the change in price and the average price, which requires specific calculations based on the demand function and given values.
