Why or why not? Illustrate your answer with a graph.arrow_forwardConsider 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 with many close substitutes is likely to have relatively demand, since consumers can easily choose to purchase one of the close substitutes 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 most elastic demand? O Sports car O Amputation procedures for diabetes sufferers The price elasticity of demand for a good also depends on how you define the good.
