In response, purchases of gasoline decreased by 5%. Based on this data, the price elasticity of demand for gas is: a. 5. b. 2. c d e According to the substitution effect, a decrease in the price of a product leads to an increase in the quantity of the product demanded because buyers: a. have more real income. b. purchase more substitute goods. c. experience a decrease in their purchasing power. d. purchase more complementary goods. e. purchase more of the now relatively less expensive good. 3.

We can conclude that cauliflower is: a. an inferior good. b. a luxury good. c. a normal good. d. expensive. e. a large component of consumer budgets. 5. A perfectly price-inelastic demand curve is: a. horizontal. b. downward-sloping. c. upward-sloping. d. vertical. e. more elastic at the top of the demand curve, and less elastic at the bottom of the curve. 1

3 7. In reference to the graph, which of the following statements is correct? a. The demand curve is less elastic when the price increases from $4 to $6 than when it increases from $6 to $8. b. The demand curve is more elastic when the price increases from $4 to $6 than when it increases from $6 to $8. c.

The demand curve is unit-elastic when the price increases from $4 to $6 and when it increases from $6 to $8. e. The demand curve is the least elastic near the price of $10 and the most elastic near the price of $4. 3

4 Figure 47-4: Linear Demand Curve II 8. (Figure 47-4: Linear Demand Curve II) If price was initially set at $8 and then increased to $10, one would find that total revenue: a. decreases, as the price effect is dominated by the quantity effect. b. increases, as the price effect dominates the quantity effect. c. stays the same, as both the price and quantity effects remain unchanged. d. stays the same, but the price effect is dominated by the quantity effect. e. decreases, as the quantity effect is dominated by the price effect. 9. If you know the cross-price elasticity between two goods is positive, then you know the two goods are: a. substitutes. b. complements. c. normal goods. d. inferior goods. e. necessities. 10. If an increase in income leads to an increase in the demand for a good, then the good is said to be: a. normal. b. a luxury. c. inferior. d. a staple or necessity. e. substitutable. 11. We note that when the price of pretzels increases, the demand for tortilla chips decreases, so we can assume that these two goods are: a. unrelated goods. b. inferior goods. c. complementary goods. d. substitute goods. e. staple goods. 4

5 12. The price elasticity of supply is computed as the percentage change in: a. quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in quantity demanded. b. quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price. c. price divided by the percentage change in quantity supplied. d. quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in consumer income. e. quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price of a related good. 13.
