The price elasticity of a good will tend to be larger:a)the longer the relevant time period. b)the fewer number of substitute goods available. c)if it is a staple. d)if it is relatively inexpensive

Sagot :

The price elasticity of a good will tend to be larger if the fewer number of substitute goods will be  available.

The cross elasticity of demand for substitute goods is always positive because the demand of one good increases at the time when the price for the substitute good increases however the cross elasticity of demand for complementary goods is always negative.

For example, if the price of coffee rises, the quantity demanded for tea which is the best  substitute of coffee beverage will increase as consumers will switch to a less expensive but the  substitutable alternative.

This is reflected in the cross elasticity of the demand formula, as both the numerator  which is the percentage change in the demand of tea and denominator which is the price of coffee  shows a positive increase.
