Question : Demand elasticity at the midpoint of a straight line demand curve:
Option 1: Will be unity
Option 2: Will be zero
Option 3: Will be infinity
Option 4: None of these
Correct Answer: Will be unity
Solution : Elasticity is less than one below the midpoint of a straight line demand curve, and the firm wants to raise prices to increase total revenue. Above the midpoint, elasticity exceeds one, and the firm wishes to lower prices in order to increase total revenue. Elasticity is equal to one, or unit elastic, at the midpoint, E1. As a result, option A is the correct answer.
Question : What will be shape of demand curve:
Option 1: Straight line
Option 2: Upward sloping
Option 3: Downward sloping
Option 4: None of the above.
Question : Assertion(A): Demand elasticity is greater than one below the demand curve's midpoint on a straight line with a downward slope.
Reason(R): The range of demand elasticity on a linear demand curve is zero to infinity.
Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False
Option 4: Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True
Question : Assertion (A): Demand elasticity is greater than one below the demand curve's midpoint on a straight line with a downward slope. Reason (R): The demand elasticity on a linear demand curve ranges from zero to infinity.
Question : If a demand curve is VERTICAL, the following equation represents the own-price elasticity of demand for this good:
Option 1: The infinite
Option 2: Zero
Option 3: One
Option 4: None of the above
Question : Assertion (A): Demand elasticity is greater than one below the demand curve's midpoint on a straight line with a downward slope. Reason (R): The elasticity of demand on a linear demand curve ranges from 0 to infinity.
