Question

Which of the following statements about the price elasticity of demand is correct The absolute value of the elasticity of demand ranges from zero to one. The elasticity of demand for a good in general is equal to the elasticity of demand for a specific brand of the good. Demand is more elastic the smaller the percentage of the consumer's budget the item takes up. Demand is more elastic in the long run than it is in the short run

Answer 1

Answer:

Demand is more elastic in the long run than it is in the short run

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Demand is more elastic in the long run than it is in the short run because in the long run consumers have more time to search for suitable substitutes.

When the absolute value of elasticity of demand is less than one, demand is inelastic.

When the absolute value of elasticity of demand is equal to one, demand is unitary.

When the absolute value of elasticity of demand is greater than one, demand is elastic.

Demand is less elastic the smaller the percentage of the consumer's budget the item takes up. 

The elasticity of demand for a specific brand of good doesn't translate into the elasticity of demand for the good.
