    Question

    ______ is the measure of responsiveness of the quality of a good or service demanded to change in its price.

    A.

    Price elasticity of demand

    B.

    Price elasticity of supply

    C.

    Income elasticity of demand

    D.

    Income elasticity of substitution

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is: (A) Price elasticity of demand
    Explanation:
    Price elasticity of demand refers to the measure of responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good or service to a change in its price. It indicates how much the demand for a product changes when its price increases or decreases.
    If the demand changes significantly in response to a price change, the product is considered to have high price elasticity.
    Information Key Points:
    • If PED > 1, demand is elastic (responsive to price changes).

    • If PED < 1, demand is inelastic (less responsive to price changes).

    • If PED = 1, demand is unitary (the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the percentage change in price).

    Knowledge Booster (Other Option Information):

    • Price elasticity of supply (B): This measures the responsiveness of the quantity supplied of a good to a change in its price.

    • Income elasticity of demand (C): This measures the responsiveness of demand to changes in consumer income.

    • Income elasticity of substitution (D): The concept related to substitution is usually captured under cross-price elasticity, which measures the change in demand of one good due to a change in the price of another related good.
