Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following goods typically have inelastic demand?

Show answer

Salt, Life-saving medicines, Basic food items like wheat

Necessities like salt, medicines, and basic food items have inelastic demand because people need them regardless of price changes. Luxury items like cars and designer clothes have elastic demand.

2multiple choice

Which factor makes the demand for a good more elastic?

Show answer

Availability of close substitutes

When close substitutes are available, consumers can easily switch to alternatives if the price rises, making demand more elastic. Necessities, goods with no substitutes, and habit-forming goods have inelastic demand.

3multiple choice

What does it mean when the price elasticity coefficient is greater than 1?

Show answer

Demand is elastic

When the elasticity coefficient is greater than 1, it means the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price, indicating elastic demand.

4multiple correct

Show answer

Nature of the commodity, Availability of substitutes, Time period, Consumer's habits

All these factors influence price elasticity: nature of commodity (necessity vs luxury), substitute availability, time period for adjustment, and consumer habits all determine how responsive demand is to price changes.
