The Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) can be a positive value, but less than 1.
True
False
Answer explanation
False. The price elasticity of demand coefficient is always negative because the law of demand states that the quantity demanded of a good or service is inversely related to its price. An increase (fall) in price will lead to a fall (increase) in the quantity demanded, ceteris paribus. By convention, the negative sign is often ignored.

How do you calculate price elasticity of supply?
Price Elasticity of Supply = (% Change in Quantity Supplied) / (% Change in Price)
Price Elasticity of Supply = (Change in Price) / (Change in Quantity Supplied)
Price Elasticity of Supply = (Change in Quantity Demanded) / (Change in Price)
Price Elasticity of Supply = (Change in Quantity Supplied) / (Change in Price)

Price level and consumer preference affects the price elasticity of demand (PED). The higher the price, the higher the PED. Similarly, the stronger the preference, the higher the PED.
True
False
Answer explanation
False. The price level of a good does not determine the PED value, since PED value is calculated in 'percentages changes.'
Instead, PED is dependent on the proportion of income, availability and closeness of substitutes, degree of necessity and time period for consumption.

Which of the following is an example of application of cross elasticity of demand (XED)?
Examining the relationship between price and quantity demanded
Studying the impact of supply on demand
Analyzing the elasticity of supply
Examples of applications of cross elasticity of demand include analyzing the relationship between the demand for related goods when prices change.
Answer explanation
The cross elasticity of demand (XED) measures the responsiveness of the demand of a good to a change in the price of another good, ceteris paribus.
Hence, it is useful for analysing the relationship between the demand for related goods when prices of one good change. E.g. Producers can predict how and to what extend the demand for their goods will change, when price of competitors' good changes.

How does the elasticity of demand vary for different products?
The elasticity of demand varies for different products based on factors such as availability of substitutes, necessity, brand loyalty, and price relative to income.
The elasticity of demand is the same for all products
The elasticity of demand is higher for luxury products compared to essential goods
The elasticity of demand is only influenced by the price of the product
