. Determinants of the price elasticity of demand Consider some determinants of the price elasticity of demand: • The availability of close substitutes • Whether the good is a necessity or a luxury • How broadly you define the market • The time horizon being considered A good without any close substitutes is likely to have relatively...........................( elastic/inelastic) demand, since consumers cannot easily switch to a substitute good if the price of the good rises. A good’s price elasticity of demand depends in part on how necessary it is relative to other goods. If the following goods are priced approximately the same, which one has the least elastic demand?(multiple choice) a) Sports car b) A heart valve for heart attack victims The price elasticity of demand for a good also depends on how you define the good. Organize the goods found in the following table by indicating which is likely to have the most elastic…
Oil refiners can refine a barrel of petroleum so that it yields either more home heating oil or more diesel fuel (i.e., they are related goods). If the price of diesel fuel falls, there is O an increase in the quantity of home heating oil supplied. O an increase in the supply of home heating oil. O an increase in the demand for home heating oil. O a decrease in the quantity of home heating oil supplied. O a decrease in the supply of home heating oil.
