Question

Which of the following is likely to have the most price elastic demand?a. ice creamb. frozen yogurtc. vanilla ice creamd.Häagen-Dazs® vanilla bean ice cream

Answer 1

Answer:

Haagen-Dazs vanilla bean ice cream

Explanation:

Demand is said to be most elastic if a slight change in price leads to a drastic change in quantity demanded. Normal goods are least elastic as increase in price does not lead to tremendous decrease in price.

However, luxury goods are most elastic as these goods are preferred when their prices are lower. They are not essential. As such, demand falls drastically in case of rise in price. So, Haagen-Dazs ice cream would have most price elasticity as this is a luxury good and rest of the items are normal goods.
