question 79

True/False

Scenario 5.1
The demand for noodles is given by the following equation: Q = 20 - 4P + 0.2I - 2P_x. Assume that P = $8, I = 200, and P_x = $10.
-Everything else held constant, the greater the number of close substitutes there are for a good, the smaller the price elasticity of demand for that good.
