Notes to Students
Attempt all questions and discuss your answers with your tutor and classmates in tutorials.
1) The price elasticity of demand measures
A) how often the price of a good changes.
B) the slope of a budget curve.
C) how sensitive the quantity demanded is to changes in demand.
D) the responsiveness of the quantity demanded to changes in price.
