As price decreases and we move down further along a linear demand curve, the price elasticity of demand will:
Group of answer choices
decrease.
increase.
stay the same.
approach infinity.
increase or decrease.
Answer
Decrease.
Explanation :
In linear demand curve when we go down the price elasticity becomes smaller. In the upper part of demand curve there is higher price and lower quality so the percentage change is different at different points. So percentage change in quantity is large in compared to percentage change in price. So the value of elasticity of demand is large. But when on the demand we comes below the percentage change in quantity is less and percentage change in price are more so it results imto the decrease in elasticity of demand.
For any linear demand curve, the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand will fall as we move down and to the right along curve.

A linear downward-sloping demand curve has price elasticities (in absolute values) that increase as price decreases. remain constant along the demand curve. decrease as price decreases. are greater than or equal to 1. Suppose a hurricane decreased the supply of oranges so that the price of oranges rose from $120 a ton to $180 a ton and quantity sold decreased from 800 tons to 240 tons. What is the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand? 0,11 0.37 9.33...
15. How does the price elasticity of demand change as you move down along a straight line demand curve? a. it becomes larger in magnitude. b. it becomes smaller in magnitude. c. it doesn't change in magnitude. d. vou can't tell without more information. 16. Quasi-concavity of utility functions insures that with only two goods, these goods must be a. gross substitutes. b. gross complements. c. net substitutes d. net complements. 17. If goods x and y are substitutes, then...
The price elasticity of demand for a downward sloping straight line demand curve is: a. constant as the price changes along the curve b. a number ranging from negative infinity to positive infinity c. given by the ratio of price and quantity d. lower in absolute value as the price drops along the curve
Question 10 A linear downward sloping demand curve has price elasticities (in absolute values) that increase as price decreases. remain constant along the demand curve. are greater than or equal to 1. decrease as price decreases.
When a firm advertises, it is attempting to: o Move consumers along the existing demand curve. Decrease the marginal utility consumers receive from the product. Decrease the price elasticity of demand for the product. U All of the above.
The price elasticity of demand for a firm's product is equal to 2 over the range of prices being considered by the firm's manager. If the manager decreases the price of the product by 8 percent, the manager predicts the quantity demanded will __________ by _______________ percent. Group of answer choices A. increase, 16% B. decrease, 16% C. increase, 4% D. decrease, 4%
This question is related to utility and elasticity. Each point along a demand curve has its own point elasticity. So, moving along a linear negative-sloped demand curve from top to bottom (i.e. from higher price to lower price), will the point elasticity become more elastic or more inelastic? Explain your answer.
Along a demand curve with unitary elasticity everywhere, total revenue: a. increases and then decreases as output increases b. decreases as output increases c. decreases and then increases as output increases d. remains constant as output increases e. increases as output increases
1. If a good has a price elasticity of demand equal to 0, ________. a) the smallest increase in its price will cause consumers to stop consuming it completely b) the quantity demanded of the good will be completely unaffected by a change in its price c) the demand curve for the good will be upward-sloping 2. At the midpoint of a downward-sloping, linear demand curve for a good, the price elasticity of demand for the good is ________. a)...
Exercise 4.1: Price Elasticity of Demand The price of a good is $200, and the quantity demanded is 2,000. The price elasticity of demand is-1.25. If the price changes to $204, what is the new quantity demanded? Exercise 4.2: Income Elasticity of Demand A consumer's income is $40,000, and the quantity demanded of a good is 2,000. The income elasticity of demand is +0.60. If the consumer's income changes to $41,000, what is the new quantity demanded? Exercise 4.3: Income...
