Question : The percentage change in _______ divided by the percentage change in _______ is the income elasticity of demand.
Option 1: The quantity demanded; income
Option 2: Income; the price
Option 3: Income; the quantity demanded.
Option 4: The price; income
Correct Answer: The quantity demanded; income
Solution : The term "income elasticity of demand" refers to how responsive demand for a good is to variations in consumer income. Hence option a is the correct answer.
Question : The price elasticity of demand is calculated as the percentage change in:
Option 1: Price divided by the percentage change in quantity demanded
Option 2: Quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price
Option 3: Quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in income
Option 4: Price divided by the percentage change in income
Question : The price elasticity of demand is calculated as the:
Option 1: Percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.
Option 2: Percentage change in price divided by the percentage change in quantity demanded.
Option 3: Total change in quantity demanded divided by the total change in price.
Option 4: Total change in price divided by the total change in quantity demanded.
Question : Statement 1: When the price of a product increases by 10%, and its quantity demanded decreases by 5%, the price elasticity of demand is - 0.5.
Statement 2: The price elasticity of demand is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage 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 : The elasticity of demand for price is:
Option 1: Elasticity = Percentage change in demand/Percentage change in time
Option 2: Elasticity = Percentage change in price/Percentage change in demand
Option 3: Elasticity = Percentage change in demand/Percentage change in supply
Option 4: Elasticity = Percentage change in supply/Percentage change in price
Question : Statement 1: The concept of price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.
Statement 2: Price elasticity of demand can be calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price.
Option 1: Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.
Option 2: Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.
Option 3: Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true.
Option 4: Both statement 1 and statement 2 are false.
