PED = (change in quantity demanded) / (change in price)

PED = (average quantity demanded) / (average price)

A physical location where goods and services are exchanged
An economic system that determines the price and quantity of goods and services
A group of buyers and sellers of a particular good or service
An area where people buy and sell goods and services
#6
What is the price elasticity of demand (PED) for a perfectly inelastic demand?
Zero
Less than zero
Greater than one
Less than one
#7
What is the equation for the marginal cost (MC) curve in a perfectly competitive market?
MC = AVC + AFC
MC = MR + AVC
MC = P + MR
MC = MR
#8
What is the price elasticity of demand (PED) for a perfectly elastic demand?
Infinity
Zero
Greater than one
Less than one
#9
What is the equation for the average fixed cost (AFC) curve in a perfectly competitive market?
AFC = FC/Q
AFC = VC/Q
AFC = P/Q
AFC = P/FC
#10

Infinity
Zero
Greater than one
Less than one
