Questions and Answers

At which point on the demand curve does elasticity become infinity?

  • Point A
  • Point t (correct)
  • Point T
  • Point R

What is the significance of the midpoint method in calculating price elasticity?

  • It leads to an infinite price elasticity.
  • It results in a price elasticity of zero.
  • It avoids confusion between initial and final price and quantity figures. (correct)
  • It is only applicable when the demand curve is a straight line.

What happens to elasticity as you move from point T towards point t on the demand curve?

  • Elasticity remains constant
  • Elasticity decreases
  • Elasticity becomes zero
  • Elasticity increases (correct)
