If, when the price of a product rises frm $1.50 to $2, then quantity demanded of the product decreases from 1000 to 900, the price elasticity of demadn coefficient, using the midpoint formula, is
|
a. 3.00
b. 2.71 c. 0.37 d. 0.33 |
|
|
If a 1% fall in the price of a product causes the quantity demanded of the product to increase by 2%, demand is
|
a. inelastic
b. elastic c. unit elastic d. perfectly elastic |
|
|

|
a. $11-$9
b. $9-$7 c. $7-$5 d. $5-$3 |
|
|
If a business incresed the price of its product from $7 to $8 when the price elasticity of demand was inelastic, then

|
|
you are the sales manager for a pizza company and have been infromed taht the price elasticity of demand for your most popular pizza is greater than 1. To increase total revenues, you should
|
a. increase the price of the pizza
b. decrease the price of the pizza c. hold pizza prices constatn d. decrease demand for your pizza |
|
|
If price is P3, then total revenue is measured by the area
|
a. 0P3 CQ3
b. 0P3 BQ2 c. 0P3 BQ3 d. 0P3 CQ2 |
|
|
If price falls from P2 to P1, then in this price range demand is
|
a. relatively inelastic because the loss in total revenue(areas 3+6+8) is greater than the gain in total revenue(area 10)
b. relatively elastic because the loss in total revenue(areas 3+6+8) is greater than the gain in total revenue(area 10) c.relatively inelastic because the loss in total revenue(area 10)is less than the gain in total revenue(areas 3+6+8) d. relatively inelastic because the loss in total revenue (area 4+7+9+10) is greater than the gain in total revenue (areas 3+6+8) |
|
|
As price falls from P4 to P3, you know that demand is
|
a. elastic because total revenue decreased from 0P4 AQ1 to 0P3 BQ2
b. inelastic becasue total revenue decreased from 0P3 BQ2 to 0P4 AQ1 c. elastic because total revenue increased from 0P4 AQ1 to 0P3 BQ2 d. inelastic because total revenue decreased from 0P4 AQ1 to 0P3 BQ2 |
|
|
Which product is most likely to be the most price elastic
|
a. bread
b. clothing c. restaurant meals d. local telephone service |
|
|
Which is characteristic of a product whose demand is elastic

|
|
