QUESTION 10
A.Quantity declines by 2 percent
Explanation:
price elasticity of demand= percentage change in quantity/ percentage change in price
-0.25=percentage change in quantity/8
-0.25*8=percentage change in quantity
-2%=percentage change in quantity
QUESTION 11
C.Inferior
Explanation; inferior good has negative income elasticity of demand. because as income increases the demand for the inferior good decreases.
QUESTION 12
B.Rightward
Explanation: when income increases the demand for normal good is increases the demand curve shifts to the rightward.
QUESTION 13
A.Substitutes
explanation: when two goods are use for the each other place are called substitute goods. when price of the one good increases and it cause the increase of the demand for another good it is called substitute good. here coffee's price rise and the tea demand is increase due to that so, they both are substitute goods.
QUESTION 14.
A. Increases
Explanation: here price elasticity of demand is elastic. so,
price and Total revenue moves into opposite direction. so, when
price will reduce total revenue will increase.

Why? b) Would an increase in the price of bus rides increase the bus companys total revenue? Explain your answer. c) If incomes increase by 5 percent with no change in prices, how will...
When the income elasticity of demand for a good is negative, one can correctly conclude that: total revenue will decrease when the price increases. the good is a substitute. the good is a complement. the good is a normal good. the good is an inferior good. As the price is raised along a straight-line demand curve, the demand curve becomes more elastic. True False Income elasticity of demand is expected to be _____. relatively high for necessities relatively low for...
