Supply and Demand
What can be said about a product whose supply elasticity is greater than one?
Supply is unitary elastic.
Supply is perfectly inelastic.
Supply is relatively inelastic.
Supply is elastic.
How would a significant increase in income affect the demand for a good with an income elasticity of -0.8?
There would be no change in quantity demanded.
The quantity demanded would increase.
The price level of the good would decrease.
The quantity demanded would decrease.
How would an excise tax on luxury cars affect the cross-price elasticity of demand between luxury cars and economy cars?
It would become negative as luxury cars and economy cars are complements.
It would likely decrease because both are types of cars.
It would remain unchanged as car preferences are not affected by taxes.
It would likely increase due to luxury cars becoming comparatively more expensive.
What does an individual consider when they choose between taking a nap or preparing lunch in terms of missed opportunities?
Fixed Expenditures
Consumption Utility
Cross-Price Elasticity
Opportunity Cost
Income elasticity of demand is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in?
Income.
Advertising.
Price.
Population.
How would a decrease in consumer preferences most likely affect the price elasticity of supply in the short run?
It becomes more elastic as producers rush to meet changing preferences.
It remains unchanged because price elasticity of supply depends on production flexibility, not consumer preferences.
It becomes less elastic since fewer suppliers will produce such goods.
It becomes perfectly elastic as prices drop dramatically due to reduced preference.
If the government imposes a tax on a good with perfectly inelastic demand, how is the burden of the tax likely to be distributed between producers and consumers?
The incidence of the tax cannot be determined without more information.
Consumers will bear the entire burden of the tax.
Producers will bear the entire burden of the tax.
The burden of the tax will be equally shared between consumers and producers.

In terms of income elasticity of demand, if a product has an income elasticity greater than one, how is this product classified?
As a necessity.
As a normal good.
As a luxury good.
As an inferior good.
If the cross-price elasticity of demand between two goods is , how would an increase in the price of one good affect the demand for the other?
There would be no change in quantity demanded for the other good.
The quantity demanded for the other good would increase as they are substitutes.
The quantity demanded for the other good would decrease as they are complements.
The effect on the quantity demanded for the other good cannot be determined without additional information.
What outcome could you expect if a technology improvement lowers production costs while holding everything else constant?
Supply curve remains unchanged.
Supply curve shifts left (decrease).
Supply curve shifts right (increase).
Supply curve shifts upward.
