Suppose you observe the price and quantity demanded of a good at two dates. There is a large
percentage change in price but only a small percentage change in quantity. Which is the most likely
price elasticity of demand?
O 1.5
O 1
O 0.5
If a 6% increase in price leads to a 12% decrease in quantity, then we can conclude
that the price elasticity of demand is.
O-1
-.5
-2
Question 19
If we know that the elasticity of demand for cigarettes is -0.5, and the government
wants to decrease the quantity of cigarettes demanded by 30%, then what must they
do to the price?
increase it by 60%
decrease it by 60%
increase it by 15%
For product X, the price elasticity of demand has an
absolute value of 3.5. This means that quantity
demanded will increase by
O 1 unit for each $3.50 decrease in price, ceteris paribus.
O 1 percent for each 3.5 percent decrease in price,
ceteris paribus.
O 3.5 units for each $1 decrease in price, ceteris paribus.
O 3.5 percent for each 1 percent decrease in price,
ceteris paribus.
