If a linear demand curve A is 'more elastic' than another linear demand curve B then which of the following is true? O The value of the PED is lower on A than on B at all points on the curve. O The absolute value of the PED is lower on A than on B at any point where they cross. O The value of the PED is lower on A than on B at any point where they cross. O The absolute value of the PED is lower on A than on B at all points on the curve. O None of the above.

Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.
If the price of a good or service increases and the total revenue received by the seller declines, is the demand for this good over this segment of the demand curve elastic or inelastic? Explain.
Suppose a straight-line downward-sloping demand curve shifts rightward. Is the price elasticity of demand higher, lower, or the same between any two prices on the new (higher) demand curve than on the old (lower) demand curve?
