Question 12

Multiple Choice

   - Refer to the graph above and assume that the areas of the boxes are the same. Consider a situation where price decreases from P<sub>2</sub> to P<sub>1</sub>. In this price range, demand is relatively: A)  inelastic because the loss in total revenue (areas D + G + I + J)  is greater than the gain in total revenue (areas C + F + H) . B)  elastic because the loss in total revenue (areas C + F + H)  is greater than the gain in total revenue (area J) . C)  elastic because the loss in total revenue (area J)  is less than the gain in total revenue (areas C + F + H) . D)  inelastic because the gain in total revenue (area J)  is less than the loss in total revenue (areas C + F + H) .
- Refer to the graph above and assume that the areas of the boxes are the same. Consider a situation where price decreases from P2 to P1. In this price range, demand is relatively:


A) inelastic because the loss in total revenue (areas D + G + I + J) is greater than the gain in total revenue (areas C + F + H) .
B) elastic because the loss in total revenue (areas C + F + H) is greater than the gain in total revenue (area J) .
C) elastic because the loss in total revenue (area J) is less than the gain in total revenue (areas C + F + H) .
D) inelastic because the gain in total revenue (area J) is less than the loss in total revenue (areas C + F + H) .
