Transcript text: Question 44 (1 point)
Refer to the graph above. Area F is
larger than areas B and C, because demand is elastic between $\$ 10$ and \$30
larger than areas $B$ and $C$, because demand is inelastic between $\$ 10$ and $\$ 30$
smaller than areas B and C, because demand is elastic between $\$ 10$ and $\$ 30$
smaller than areas B and C, because demand is inelastic between $\$ 10$ and $\$ 30$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Areas on the Graph
The graph shows a demand curve with areas labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F.
The price axis ranges from $0 to $60, and the quantity axis ranges from 0 to 60 units.
Step 2: Determine the Price and Quantity Ranges for Each Area
Area F is located between the price range of $0 to $10 and the quantity range of 30 to 60 units.
Areas B and C are located between the price range of $10 to $30 and the quantity range of 0 to 30 units.
Step 3: Analyze the Elasticity of Demand
Elasticity of demand measures how much the quantity demanded responds to a change in price.
Between $10 and $30, the demand is likely to be more elastic because the percentage change in quantity demanded is higher relative to the percentage change in price.
Final Answer
Area F is smaller than areas B and C, because demand is elastic between $10 and $30.
