Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 3

Which of the following is not determinant of demand?

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 4

Cross elasticity of complementary goods is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 4

In economics, a complementary good or complement is a good with a negative cross elasticity of demand, in contrast to a substitute good. This means a good's demand is increased when the price of another good is decreased. Conversely, the demand for a good is decreased when the price of another good is increased.

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 5

Generally, when income of consumer increases, he goes in for superior goods, leading to a fall in demand for inferior goods. It means, income elasticity of demand is ________.

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 6

In which of the following cases the demand for goods tends to be less elastic?

Detailed Solution for Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 6
  • Goods are necessary: Essential items like food and medicine have less elastic demand because consumers need them regardless of price changes.
  • Short time period: In the short term, consumers can't easily change their purchasing habits, leading to less elastic demand.
  • Fewer close substitutes: When there are few alternatives available, consumers are less likely to switch to other products, resulting in reduced elasticity.
Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 7

Demand for electricity power is elastic because_______

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 8

Bricks for houses is an example of which kind of demand?

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 9

Detailed Solution for Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 10

In expansion and contraction of demand, the demand curve remains unchanged, and Slope of the demand curve changes

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 11

The price of a commodity decreases from 10 to 8 and the quantity demanded of it increases from 25 to 30 units, then the coefficient of price elasticity will be______.

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 12

What is the elasticity between mid-point and upper extreme point of a straight line continuous demand curve?

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 13

The demand for factors of production is ______.

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 14

Expansion and contraction in demand are caused by:

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 15

A 10% increase in the price of tea results is an 8% increase in the demand for coffee. Cross elasticity of demand will be:

Detailed Solution for Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 15

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 16

In case of luxury goods, the income elasticity of demand will be_______

Detailed Solution for Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 16

Correct option is C. Positive but greater than 1
If a good is a luxury, its income elasticity of demand is Positive and greater than 1. If income elasticity of demand of a commodity is less than 1, it is a necessity good. If the elasticity of demand is greater than 1, it is a luxury good or a superior good

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 17

Increase in Price from Rs. 4 to Rs. 6 then decrease in demand from 15 units to 10 units. What is the price elasticity. (Point elasticity)

Detailed Solution for Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 17

∆P = P1 - P = 6 - 4 = 2

∆Q = Q1 - Q = 10 - 15 = -5

Price Elasticity= P/Q × ∆Q/∆P =

(-) 4/15×(-)5/2

=0.66

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 18

In case of a straight line demand curve meeting the two axes, the price elasticity of demand at the mid-point of the line would be:

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 19

Price of Tiffin Box is Rs. 100 per unit and the quantity demanded in market is 1,25,000 units. Company increased the price to Rs. 125. Due to this increase in price, quantity demanded decreases to 1, 00,000 units. What will be the price elasticity of demand?

Detailed Solution for Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 19

Correct Answer :- C

Explanation : Q1 = 100                 P1 = 125000

Q2 = 125                 P2 = 100000

(Q2-Q1)/Q = P(P2-P1)

=> (25000/125000) * (100/25)

= 4/5

= 0.8

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 20

In case of an inferior good, the income elasticity of demand is: 

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 21

Cross elasticity of complementary goods is:

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 22

Which of the following elasticity of demand measures a movement along the demand curve rather than a shift in the curve?

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 23

Generally, when income of consumer increases, he goes in for superior goods, leading to a fall in demand for inferior goods. It means, income elasticity of demand is ________.

Detailed Solution for Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 23

In case of inferior goods, there will be negative income elasticity (Ey<0).

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 24

For a commodity with a unitary elastic demand curve if the price of the commodity raises, then the consumer’s total expenditure on this commodity would: 

Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 25

Suppose the price of movies seen at a theatre rises form Rs. 120 per person to Rs.200 per person. The theatre manager observed that the rise in prices has lead to a fall in attendance at a given movie from 300 persons to 200 persons. What is the price elasticity of demand for the movie? (arc elasticity)

Detailed Solution for Test: Theory Of Demand- 3 - Question 25

Arc elasticity may be expressed as: [(Q1 - Q)/(Q1 + Q)] x [(P1 + P)/(P1 - P)]

Therefore,

[(300 - 200)/(300 + 200)] x [(200 + 120)/(200 - 120)]

= (100/500) x (320/80)

So, Arc elasticity = 4/5 = 0.8

(differences were large hence arc elasticity is used.)
