Supply is unitary elastic.
Supply is perfectly inelastic.
Supply is relatively inelastic.
Supply is elastic.
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.
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.
If the cross-price elasticity of demand for two goods is +2.5, what does this imply about the relationship between these goods?
They are substitutes.
They are perfectly inelastic goods.
They are complements.
They have no relationship.
If the point price elasticity of demand for a product at its current price is , how would you describe consumers' price sensitivity?
Unitary elastic as percentage change in quantity demanded equals percentage price change
Relatively elastic since quantity demanded changes significantly with price change
Perfectly elastic since consumers will only buy at one price
Relatively inelastic since quantity demanded doesn't change much with price change
In a market where products have highly elastic supply and consumers' income elasticity of demand is negative, how will producer surplus change if consumer incomes rise significantly?
Producer surplus will likely increase because higher incomes stimulate overall market activity.
Producer surplus will likely increase due to increased quantity supplied at existing prices.
Producer surplus will likely decrease due to reduced quantity demanded at existing prices.
Producer surplus will remain unchanged because supply is highly elastic.
