Price elasticity of demand is defined by Change in Quantity demanded / Change in Price. 

Tom ordered 10 gallons of gas without asking about the price. This means that no matter the price, Tom orders the same quantity of gas (quantity demanded does not change with price). His demand is perfectly inelastic, or 0. 

Jerry orders $10 worth of gas. This means that no matter how much it gives him, Jerry will pay $10. The price elasticity of demand depends on how much the price changes by.
For example, if price doubles from $5/gal to $10/gal, demand falls by 50% (2 gallons to 1 gallon), making his price elasticity -0.5
If the price increase 10% from $10/gal to $10.10/gal, demand falls 1% from 1 gal to .99 gallons, making his price elasticity -0.1

According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), correctly priced securities:
miskamm [114]

Answer:

A) have zero alphas

Explanation:

Stock's alpha show show much they have over or under performed in relation to similar peer stocks. But if the stocks were correctly priced, then alpha should be 0 since no variation, either positive or negative should occur. Alpha basically measures the error in the stock's valuation. It is always better to have positive alphas because if you make a mistake then hopefully is in your favor, but alphas can also be negative and that equals unexpected losses.

This is why the CAPM model only considers beta in its calculation.
