Question : Which of the following is an assumption made while drawing the demand curve a:The demand curve must be linear b:The price of substitutes should not change c: The quantity demanded should not change d: The price of the commodity should not change
Option 1: A and B
Option 2: B only
Option 3: A, B and C only
Option 4: A, B, C and D all
Correct Answer: B only
Solution : Prices of substitutes should not change is the assumption of law of demand. The assumption behind a demand curve or a supply curve is that no relevant economic factors, other than the product's price, are changing. Hence only b is the correct answer.
Question : Which of the following is the assumption of the law of demand? A: The commodity's price should not change. B: The quantity requested should not change. C: Substitute prices should not change.
Option 1: Only A correct
Option 2: B and C are correct
Option 3: Only C correct
Option 4: A, B, and C all are correct.
Question : When a good's demand is less elastic, a) Price change as a percentage of demand as a percentage of price change b) Change in the amount demanded as a percentage of price change c) Price change by percentage equals demand by percentage changed d) Demand is more steeply curved.
Option 1: A and B only
Option 2: B and C only
Option 3: A and D only
Option 4: All of the above
Question : EXCEPT for the one, the following are the causes of a shift in demand: A: Change in income B: Change in price C: Change in prices of substitutes D: Change in fashion
Option 1: B only
Option 3: A, B, and C only
Option 4: A, B, C, and D
Question : Which of the following statements is FALSE? A: All five types of elasticity can be depicted on a linear demand curve.' B: If two demand curves are linear and intersect, the coefficient of elasticity on the different demand curves at the point of intersection will be the same. C: If two demand curves are linear and parallel to each other, the coefficient of elasticity on each demand curve will be different at a given price.
Option 2: Only B correct
Option 4: A, B, and C all are correct
Question : Commodity demand refers to:
Option 1: Requirement for the commodity
Option 2: Want for the commodity
Option 3: Quantity of the commodity demanded at a specific price and at a specific time
