#3

If the price of a substitute for a product increases, what is likely to happen to the demand for the product?

Increase
Explanation

With higher prices for substitutes, demand for the product is likely to increase.

#4

Which of the following is a determinant of price elasticity of demand?

Availability of close substitutes
Explanation

The availability of close substitutes affects the elasticity of demand.

#5

If the price of a product increases and its demand decreases, the demand for its complementary goods will:

Decrease
Explanation

Decreasing demand for a product reduces demand for its complements.

#6

Which of the following is not a determinant of price elasticity of demand?

Income of consumers
Explanation

Horizontal
Explanation

#12

If the price elasticity of demand for a good is -0.5, the demand is considered to be:

Inelastic
Explanation

Demand is inelastic when elasticity coefficient is less than -1.

#13

If the demand for a product is unitary elastic, what is the value of its price elasticity of demand?

1
Explanation

Unitary elastic demand corresponds to a price elasticity coefficient of 1.

#14
