Consider Renee's demand for candy corn. The price of candy corn increases one day. If you were to measure Renee's price elasticity of demand for candy corn, which of the following is most likely to be true?
Group of answer choices
A. Measured over the next week, Renee's price elasticity of demand is -1.2, and measured over the next month it is -1.4.
B. Measured over the next week, Renee's price elasticity of demand is -1.4, and measured over the next month it is -1.2.
C. Measured over the next week, Renee's price elasticity of demand is -1.4, and measured over the next month it is -1.4.
Homework Answers
"A"
The price elasticity of demand increases with an increase in the time because with passing time more and more substitutes are available for the consumer. So, first the demand elasticity will be -1.2 and with passing time it will increase to -1.4.
