For product X, the price elasticity of demand has an
absolute value of 3.5. This means that quantity
demanded will increase by
O 1 unit for each $3.50 decrease in price, ceteris paribus.
O 1 percent for each 3.5 percent decrease in price,
ceteris paribus.
O 3.5 units for each $1 decrease in price, ceteris paribus.
O 3.5 percent for each 1 percent decrease in price,
ceteris paribus.
Answer both I will rate
If an increase in price from $1 to $2 causes a decrease in quantity demanded from 120 to 100, calculate the price elasticity of demand by using
the midpoint method.
O 1.2
O 1.3
O 0.27
