Elasticity, in economic terms, is another word for

If a product is narrowly defined, it is likely to

have many substitutes and therefore its demand is elastic.

have few substitutes, and therefore its demand is less elastic.

be unique, and therefore its demand is inelastic.

be unique and have many substitutes.

have a larger proportion of income spent on it.

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:

have more real income.

purchase more substitute goods.

experience a decrease in their purchasing power.

purchase more complementary goods.

purchase more of the now relatively less expensive good.

In reference to the graph, which of the following statements is correct?

The demand curve is less elastic when the price increases from $4 to $6 than when it increases from $6 to $8.

The demand curve is more elastic when the price increases from $4 to $6 than when it increases from $6 to $8.

The demand curve has the same elasticity when the price increases from $4 to $6 as when it increases from $6 to $8.

The demand curve is unit-elastic when the price increases from $4 to $6 and when it increases from $6 to $8.

The demand curve is the least elastic near the price of $10 and the most elastic near the price of $4.

Suppose the Chicago Enforcers football team lowers ticket prices by 13 percent and as a result the quantity of tickets demanded increases by 21 percent. This response means that the demand for Enforcer tickets is

When demand is inelastic within a certain price range, then within that price range,

an increase in price would increase total revenue because the decrease in quantity demanded is proportionately less than the increase in price.

an increase in price would decrease total revenue because the decrease in quantity demanded is proportionately greater than the increase in price.

a decrease in price would increase total revenue because the increase in quantity demanded is proportionately smaller than the decrease in price.

a decrease in price would increase total revenue because the increase in quantity demanded is proportionately larger than the decrease in price.

a decrease in price would not affect total revenue.
