Sharon and two kids makes 3 people total with both kids being under 18, the poverty level from the table is $20,231
She gets $1000 a month for her kids. 1000 x 12 months = $12,000 per year
12,000 + her annual salary = 12,000 + 16,000 = $28,000 per year.
28,000 is greater than 20,231 so she is not living in poverty.

An elastic products prices are responsive to changes in demand. Generally, the necessity of the product is related to it's elasticity. For example, insulin is essential for diabetics, so the price is extremely inelastic—people will pay any amount because it is a life or death situation. The price of a new MP3 player can be inelastic, especially because results show that people want the newest thing, and will pay more if it works better than the previous model. Additionally, the price of "scalper" tickers to the World Series will increase by demand, but they will still sell regardless. The price of dairy products, however, is rather elastic; this is because when the price rises, people switch to a cheaper brand. The difference between an inelastic and elastic product is that elastic products have substitutes, whereas inelastic products have no substitutes (or sometimes very few).
Answer: A. the price of dairy products

c. demand for that good is more elastic than if you spent a smaller portion of your income on the good.
Demand elasticity is the change in demand as the price changes - aka price has a big effect on demand.
Think about if the cost of a candy bar doubles from $1 to $2. This is a big increase but $2 isn't a huge portion of your income so it isn't a huge deal and you will probably keep buying. Now imagine if your car payment doubles from $350 to $700. Because this is such a big portion of your income, you will probably look to trade it in for a cheaper car.
