B
Which of the following generalizations is NOT correct? A. The larger an item is in one's budget, the greater the price elasticity of demand B. The price elasticity of demand is greater for necessities than it is for luxuries C. The larger the number of close substitutes available, the greater will be the price elasticity of demand for a particular product D. The price elasticity of demand is greater the longer the time period under consideration
C
Which of the following statements is correct? A. Supply is more elastic in the short run than in the long run B. Demand is more elastic in the short run than in the long run C. Demand is more elastic when a large number of substitute goods are available D. Supply is more elastic when there are a small number of producers in the industry
