Multiple Choice

Figure 5-11 Figure 5-11   -Refer to Figure 5-11.Suppose this demand curve is a straight,downward-sloping line all the way from the horizontal intercept to the vertical intercept.We choose two prices,P<sub>1</sub> and P<sub>2</sub>,and the corresponding quantities demanded,Q<sub>1</sub> and Q<sub>2</sub>,for the purpose of calculating the price elasticity of demand.Also suppose P<sub>2</sub> > P<sub>1</sub>.In which of the following cases could we possibly find that (i) demand is elastic and (ii) a decrease in price from P<sub>1</sub> to P<sub>2</sub> causes an decrease in total revenue? A) 0 < P<sub>1</sub> < P<sub>2</sub> < $10. B) $10 < P<sub>1</sub> < P<sub>2</sub> < $20. C) P<sub>1</sub> > $20. D) None of the above is correct.
