Added by Brandon W.
Step 1
Elasticity of demand measures how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in price. If demand is elastic, a small change in price leads to a large change in quantity demanded. Show more…

If E(p) > 1, the percentage decrease in demand is smaller than the percentage increase in price that caused it. True/False. E(p) < 1 (Elastic demand). False/True.

33. The discovery of a new hybrid wheat would increase the supply of wheat. As a result, wheat farmers would realize an increase in total revenue if the supply of wheat is elastic. a. supply of wheat is elastic. b. supply of wheat is inelastic. c. demand for wheat is inelastic. d. demand for wheat is elastic. 34. Which of the following might cause the demand curve for an inferior good to shift to the left? a. a decrease in income b. an increase in the price of a substitute c. an increase in the price of a complement d. None of the above is correct 35. Suppose a tax of $3 per unit is imposed on a good. The supply curve is a typical upward-sloping straight line, and the demand curve is a typical downward-sloping straight line. The tax decreases consumer surplus by $3,900 and decreases producer surplus by $3,000. The tax generates tax revenue of $6,000. The tax decreased the equilibrium quantity of the good from a. 2,000 to 1,500 b. 2,400 to 2,000 c. 2,600 to 2,000 d. 3,000 to 2,400

Consider a competitive firm's demand for a factor of production as a function of the factor price when the prices of other factors are given. Let us consider two cases: 1) the quantity of output is fixed, and 2) the price of the product is fixed. The elasticity of demand is greater in the second case than in the first. Why? True, false, uncertain?
