题型:单项选择题

题目:

If the price elasticity of demand is-1.5 and you increase the price of the product 2 percent, the quantity demanded will (closest to):()

A. decrease 0.75%

B. decrease 1.5%

C. decrease 3%

答案:

参考答案:C

解析:

If the price elasticity of demand is -1.5, and you increase the price of the product 2% , the quantity demanded will decrease approximately 3%. When the price elasticity is negative, it means that price and demand move in opposite directions. Given a price decrease, demand will increase and vice versa. The absolute value, 1.5, indicates that demand will move one-and-a-half times as much as price.
