If a small change in the price of an item causes a significant change in the quantity demanded, we say that the demand for the item is:
-
Inelastic
-
Scarce
-
High
-
Elastic
Correct Answer
A. ElasticExplanation
If a small change in the price of an item causes a significant change in the quantity demanded, we say that the demand for the item is elastic. This means that consumers are highly responsive to changes in price, and a small increase in price will result in a large decrease in quantity demanded, and vice versa. Elastic demand indicates that the demand for the item is sensitive to price changes, and consumers are likely to switch to alternatives if the price increases.Rate this question:
