When the price of a good increased by 10 percent the quantity demanded of it decreased 2 percent demand for this good is?

The demand for a good is inelastic if the percentage decrease in the quantity demanded is less than the percentage increase in its price. In this example, a 10 percent price rise brings a 2 percent decrease in the quantity demanded, so demand is inelastic.

When price falls by 5% and demand increases by 6% then elasticity of demand is 1 point?

And the inelastic demand is the change in demand is small due to the change in price. Here we can see that the price falls by 5% and the demand increases by 6% so we cans ay that the demand is elastic. Hence, the correct answer is "elastic".

When the price of a product is increased 10 percent the quantity demanded decreases 20 percent in this range of prices demand for this product is?

Answer and Explanation: The correct answer choice is B. Demand is said to be price elastic when the value of price elasticity is greater than one. Here, the given percentage change in quantity demanded is 15, while the given percentage change in price is 10 implying that the price elasticity of demand is 1.5.

When a 10 percent change in the price of a good brings about a 20 percent change in its quantity demanded we calculate the price elasticity of demand to be?

The ratio will always be negative for any downward sloping demand curve. For example, if a 10 percent price increase brings about a 20 percent reduction in quantity demanded, the price elasticity of demand is –20 percent/+ 10 percent, or –2.0.
