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.
Suppose that the elasticity of supply is 1.60 and the price increases by 5%. We will predict a percent
increase in the quantity supplied of:
8%
6%
O 3.1%
12%
For a certain good, when price rises from $100 to $150, quantity demanded falls from 2,000 to
1,200. The price elasticity of demand here is
making the demand for this good
in the price range between $100 and $150.
