The price of product X is reduced from $100 to $90 and, as a result, the quantity demanded increases from 50 to 60 units. Therefore, demand for X in this price range:is of unit elasticity.is inelastic.is elastic.has declined.

(Last Word) Suppose that a firm has "pricing power" and can segregate its market into two distinct groups based on differences in elasticities of demand. The firm might charge:a lower price to the group that has the less elastic demand.a higher price to the group that has the less elastic demand.the same price to both groups but include a "free" related product for the group that has an inelastic demand.the same price to both groups but make it difficult for the group with the more elastic demand to gain access to the product.

Other things the same, if a price change causes total revenue to change in the opposite direction, demand is:perfectly inelastic.of unit elasticity.relatively elastic.relatively inelastic.
  • C
  • A
  • B
  • D
The total revenue test for elasticity:is equally applicable to both demand and supply.applies to the short-run supply curve but not to the long-run supply curve.does not apply to demand because price and quantity are inversely related.does not apply to supply because price and total revenue always move together.
  • B
  • C
  • D
  • A
Supply curves tend to be:perfectly inelastic in the long run because the law of scarcity imposes absolute limits on production.perfectly elastic in the long run because consumer demand will have sufficient time to adjust fully to changes in supply.less elastic in the long run because there is time for firms to enter or leave an industry.more elastic in the long run because there is time for firms to enter or leave the industry.

We would expect:the demand for Coca-Cola to be more price elastic than the demand for soft drinks in general.no relationship between the price elasticity of demand for Coca-Cola and the price elasticity of demand for soft drinks in general.none of these to hold true.the demand for Coca-Cola to be less price elastic than the demand for soft drinks in general.

Which of the following is correct?If the demand for a product is inelastic, a change in price will cause total revenue to change in the same direction.The price elasticity coefficient applies to demand, but not to supply.If the demand for a product is inelastic, a change in price may cause total revenue to change in either the opposite or the same direction.If the demand for a product is inelastic, a change in price will cause total revenue to change in the opposite direction.

The narrower the definition of a product:the larger the number of substitutes and the greater the price elasticity of demand.the larger the number of substitutes and the smaller the price elasticity of demand.the smaller the number of substitutes and the smaller the price elasticity of demand.the smaller the number of substitutes and the greater the price elasticity of demand.

If the price elasticity of demand for a product is unity, a decrease in price will:increase the quantity demanded but decrease total revenue.increase the quantity demanded, but total revenue will be unchanged.have no effect upon the amount purchased.increase the quantity demanded and increase total revenue.
