#4

Which of the following is an example of a substitute good?

Tennis balls and tennis rackets
Explanation

#5

Which of the following is a determinant of supply?

Technology
Explanation

Technology affects supply

#6

What happens to the demand curve when there is an increase in consumer income for a normal good?

The demand curve shifts to the right
Explanation

Increased demand due to higher income

#7

What is elasticity of demand?

A measure of how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in the price of that good
Explanation

Sensitivity of quantity demanded to price changes

#8

Which of the following is not a determinant of demand?

Price of the good itself
Explanation

Price is not a determinant of demand

#9

What is the difference between a shift in demand and a movement along the demand curve?

A shift in demand is caused by changes in factors other than price, while a movement along the demand curve is caused by a change in price
Explanation

Shift due to factors, movement due to price change

#10

Which of the following statements is true regarding the concept of demand elasticity?

Inelastic demand means that quantity demanded changes proportionately less than price
Explanation

Inelastic demand: quantity changes less than price

#11

What is the concept of consumer surplus?

The difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay and the actual price they pay
Explanation

Consumer gain from paying less than their maximum

#12

What is the difference between normal goods and inferior goods?

Inelastic demand leads to revenue decrease with price rise

#19

Which of the following is a characteristic of perfectly elastic demand?

The price elasticity of demand is infinite
Explanation

Demand quantity infinitely responsive to price

#20

Which of the following is a characteristic of perfectly inelastic demand?

The price elasticity of demand is zero
Explanation
