Hey student,
The statement that "an increase in the demand for notebooks raises the quantity of notebooks demanded, but not the quantity supplied," in general, is false. The increase in demand for notebooks results in an increased quantity supplied. As the quality of notebooks tend to increase then also the demand of the quality suppy also increases.
All the best student,
Hope this helps you.
Question : Statement 1: If the price elasticity of demand for a product is -1.5, a 10% increase in price will result in a 15% decrease in quantity demanded.
Statement 2: The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand represents the percentage change in quantity demanded for a 1% change in price.
Option 1: Both statements are true.
Option 2: Both statements are false.
Option 3: Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.
Option 4: Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.
Question : Statement 1: The demand for a product is perfectly inelastic when quantity demanded remains constant regardless of price changes.
Statement 2: Perfectly inelastic demand implies that any change in price will cause an infinite change in quantity demanded.
Question : Statement 1: Demand for a product is perfectly elastic when quantity demanded becomes infinite at a specific price.
Statement 2: Perfectly elastic demand implies that any increase in price will cause quantity demanded to drop to zero.
Question : Statement 1: Price elasticity of demand is not applicable to perfectly elastic demand.
Statement 2: Perfectly elastic demand implies that any change in price leads to an infinitely large change in quantity demanded.
Question : Statement 1: Elasticity of demand measures the sensitivity of quantity demanded to changes in price.
Statement 2: If the percentage change in price is greater than the percentage change in quantity demanded, demand is considered elastic.
