2 Figure Refer to Figure 5-4. As price falls from P A to P B, we could use the three demand curves to calculate three different values of the price elasticity of demand. Which of the three demand curves would produce the smallest elasticity? a. D 1 b. D 2 c. D 3 d. All of the above are equally elastic. 9. Holding all other forces constant, when the price of gasoline rises, the number of gallons of gasoline demanded would fall substantially over a ten-year period because a. buyers tend to be much less sensitive to a change in price when given more time to react. b. buyers tend to be much more sensitive to a change in price when given more time to react. c. buyers will have substantially more income over a ten-year period. d. the quantity supplied of gasoline increases very little in response to an increase in the price of gasoline.

Demand is said to be inelastic if a. buyers respond substantially to changes in the price of the good. b. demand shifts only slightly when the price of the good changes. c. the quantity demanded changes only slightly when the price of the good changes. d. the price of the good responds only slightly to changes in demand.

3 14. Total surplus is equal to a. value to buyers minus profit to sellers. b. value to buyers minus cost to sellers. c. consumer surplus minus producer surplus. d.
