#1
Which of the following is NOT a determinant of market demand?
Number of sellers in the market
ExplanationMarket demand is determined by factors like consumer preferences, income, and prices of related goods.
#2
What is the law of demand?
As price decreases, quantity demanded decreases
ExplanationThere is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.
#3
Which of the following is an example of a substitute good?
Coffee and tea
ExplanationSubstitute goods can be used interchangeably, like coffee and tea.
#4
Which of the following is likely to have a more inelastic demand?
Salt
ExplanationEssential goods like salt tend to have less responsive demand.
#5
What does a downward-sloping demand curve indicate?
As price increases, quantity demanded decreases
ExplanationHigher prices lead to lower demand.
#6
What is elasticity of demand?
A measure of the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price
ExplanationIt quantifies how sensitive quantity demanded is to changes in price.
#7
What is the difference between individual demand and market demand?
Individual demand refers to the quantity of a good demanded by an individual consumer, while market demand refers to the total quantity demanded by all consumers in the market.
ExplanationIndividual demand focuses on one consumer, while market demand encompasses all consumers.
#8
What is the cross-price elasticity of demand for complementary goods?
Negative
ExplanationComplementary goods' demand decreases as the price of one good increases.
#9
What is the income elasticity of demand for a normal good?
Positive
ExplanationFor normal goods, demand increases with higher incomes.
#10
What is the relationship between price elasticity of demand and total revenue?
They move in opposite directions
ExplanationAs price elasticity increases, total revenue decreases.
#11
What happens to the demand curve when there is an increase in consumer income for a normal good?
The demand curve shifts rightward
ExplanationMore consumer income leads to increased demand for normal goods.
#12
What does a perfectly elastic demand curve look like?
Horizontal line
ExplanationAny price change leads to an infinite change in quantity demanded.
#13
If the price of a good increases and the demand for its complement decreases, what will happen to the demand for the original good?
Decrease
ExplanationComplementary goods' demand has an inverse relationship.
#14
What happens to the elasticity of demand as you move down a straight-line demand curve?
It decreases
ExplanationElasticity decreases as you move down the curve.
#15
What does a vertical demand curve indicate?
Perfectly inelastic demand
ExplanationQuantity demanded remains constant regardless of price changes.
#16
What is the primary determinant of price elasticity of demand?
Availability of substitutes
ExplanationSubstitutability greatly influences elasticity.
