1How is the price elasticity of demand (PED) defined in economic analysis?
A.The change in total revenue divided by the change in quantity demanded
B.The percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price
C.The percentage change in consumer income divided by the percentage change in quantity supplied
D.The absolute change in price divided by the initial quantity demanded
Explanation: Price elasticity of demand (PED) measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price, calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price (%ΔQd / %ΔP).
2If the price elasticity of demand for a staple food item is calculated as -0.4, how is the demand classified?
A.Price inelastic
B.Price elastic
C.Unit elastic
D.Perfectly elastic
Explanation: Demand is price inelastic when the absolute value of PED is less than 1.0 (|PED| < 1). Here |-0.4| = 0.4 < 1, indicating that quantity demanded changes by a smaller percentage than the price change.
3When the demand for a product is price elastic (|PED| > 1), what happens to total revenue if the seller raises the price?
A.Total revenue increases because each unit sells at a higher price
B.Total revenue remains unchanged because price and demand balance each other
C.Total revenue decreases because the percentage reduction in quantity demanded exceeds the percentage increase in price
D.Total revenue falls immediately to zero as all consumers abandon the product
Explanation: When demand is price elastic, the percentage drop in quantity demanded is larger than the percentage rise in price. Consequently, the revenue lost from fewer unit sales outweighs the revenue gained from the higher price per unit, causing total revenue to decrease.
4A vendor sells 200 baskets of onions per week at 1,000 kyats per basket. When the price increases to 1,200 kyats, the quantity sold drops to 170 baskets. What is the price elasticity of demand using standard initial-value percentage changes?
A.-1.33
B.-0.50
C.-1.50
D.-0.75
Explanation: %ΔQd = (170 - 200) / 200 = -30 / 200 = -15%. %ΔP = (1,200 - 1,000) / 1,000 = +200 / 1,000 = +20%. PED = %ΔQd / %ΔP = -15% / +20% = -0.75.
5A bookstore lowers the price of an economics workbook from 10,000 kyats to 8,000 kyats, causing weekly sales to rise from 80 units to 120 units. Using the midpoint (arc) elasticity method, what is the price elasticity of demand?
A.-1.80
B.-0.56
C.-2.25
D.-1.20
Explanation: Using the midpoint formula: ΔQ = 120 - 80 = 40; Average Q = (80 + 120) / 2 = 100; %ΔQ = 40 / 100 = +40% (0.40). ΔP = 8,000 - 10,000 = -2,000; Average P = (10,000 + 8,000) / 2 = 9,000; %ΔP = -2,000 / 9,000 = -22.22% (-2/9). PED = 0.40 / (-2/9) = 0.40 * (-4.5) = -1.80.
6If the income elasticity of demand (YED) for good X is -0.65, good X is categorized as:
A.A luxury good
B.An inferior good
C.A normal necessity
D.A substitute good
Explanation: An inferior good has a negative income elasticity of demand (YED < 0). When consumer income rises, the quantity demanded for an inferior good falls as consumers switch to higher-quality alternatives.
7An economist observes that a 10% rise in household income leads to a 15% increase in the quantity demanded for recreational travel services. This good has an income elasticity of:
A.+0.67, indicating it is an income-inelastic necessity
B.-1.50, indicating it is an inferior good
C.+1.50, indicating it is an income-elastic luxury good
D.+1.00, indicating it has unitary income elasticity
Explanation: Income elasticity of demand (YED) = %ΔQd / %ΔIncome = +15% / +10% = +1.50. Because YED is positive and greater than 1.0, the service is a normal luxury good.
8When the price of tea rises by 12%, the quantity demanded for coffee increases by 6%, holding all other factors constant. What is the cross-price elasticity of demand (XED), and what relationship does it indicate between tea and coffee?
A.+0.50, indicating that tea and coffee are substitute goods
B.-0.50, indicating that tea and coffee are complementary goods
C.+2.00, indicating that tea and coffee are inferior goods
D.0.00, indicating that tea and coffee are completely independent goods
Explanation: Cross-price elasticity of demand (XED) = %ΔQd of coffee / %ΔPrice of tea = +6% / +12% = +0.50. A positive XED indicates that the two products are substitute goods.
9If the cross-price elasticity of demand between cars and motor vehicle tyres is -1.4, an increase in the price of cars will cause:
A.The demand curve for tyres to shift to the right
B.No change in the demand for tyres because they serve distinct markets
C.The demand curve for tyres to shift to the left
D.A movement along the tyre demand curve caused directly by a tyre price increase
Explanation: A negative cross-price elasticity (XED < 0) means the goods are complementary. An increase in the price of cars reduces car purchases, thereby shifting the entire demand curve for tyres to the left.
10Which factor is most likely to make the price elasticity of supply (PES) for an agricultural crop highly inelastic in the very short run?
A.Long biological gestation and harvesting cycles that prevent rapid output adjustments
B.Abundant spare warehouse capacity capable of releasing stockpiles instantly
C.Ease of transferring agricultural workers into chemical processing
D.Minimal costs required to install new manufacturing assembly lines
Explanation: Agricultural crops have biological growth and harvesting cycles that cannot be accelerated immediately in response to market price increases, making short-run supply price inelastic.
