The good is a luxury.
If a 15% increase in price for a good results in a 20 percent decrease in quantity demanded, the price elasticity of demand is
1.33
Elasticity of demand is closely related to the slope of the demand curve. The more responsive buyers are to a change in price, the
Flatter the demand curve will be.
When small changes in price lead to infinite changes in quantity demanded, demand is perfectly
Elastic, and the demand curve will be horizontal.

Demand for cigarettes is perfectly inelastic.
Jerome says that he will spend exactly $25 each month on new apps for his mobile device, regardless of the price of apps. Jerome's demand for apps is
Unit elastic.
When the price of good A is $50, the quantity demanded of good A is 500 units. When the price of good A rises to $70, the quantity demanded of good A falls to 400 units. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand for good A is
0.67, and an increase in price will result in an increase in total revenue for good A.
Skip's Sealcoating Service increased its total monthly revenue from $12,000 to $13,500 when it raised the price of driveway repairs from $600 to $750. The price elasticity of demand for Skip's Sealcoating Service is

The quantity demanded changes as consumer income changes.
For which of the following goods is the income elasticity of demand likely lowest?
Water.
Assume that a 4 percent increase in income results in a 2 percent increase in the quantity demanded of a good. The income elasticity of demand for the good is
Positive, and the good is a normal good.
When her income increased from $10,000 to $20,000, Heather's consumption of macaroni decreased from 10 pounds to 5 pounds and her consumption of soy-burgers increased from 2 pounds to 4 pounds. Using the midpoint method, we can conclude that for Heather, macaroni
Is an inferior good with an income elasticity of -1 and soy-burgers are normal goods with an income elasticity of 1.
Cross-price elasticity of demand measures how
The quantity demanded of one good changes in response to a change in the price of another good.
If the cross-price elasticity of two goods is negative, then the two goods are
Complements
For which pairs of goods is the cross-price elasticity most likely to be positive?
Pens and Pencils
The price elasticity of supply measures how much
The quantity supplied responds to changes in the price of the good.
If the price elasticity of supply is 1.5, and a price increase led to a 1.8 percent increase in quantity supplied, then the price increase is about
1.20 percent.
If the price elasticity of supply is 1.2, and price increased by 5 percent, quantity supplied would
Increase by 6 percent.
A manufacturer produces 400 units when the market price is $10 per unit and produces 600 units when the market price is $12 per unit. Using the midpoint method, for this range of prices, the price elasticity of supply is about
2.2
Demand is said to be price elastic if
Buyers respond substantially to changes in the price of the good.
Demand is said to be inelastic if
The quantity demanded changes only slightly when the price of the good changes.
Which of the following is not a determinant of the price elasticity of demand for a good?
The steepness or flatness of the supply curve for the good
Goods with many close substitutes tend to have
More elastic demands.
For a good that is a luxury, demand
Tends to be elastic.
A good will have a more inelastic demand, the
Broader the definition of the market.
The demand for grape-flavored Hubba Bubba bubble gum is likely
