  2. Maintaining the market share and being responsive to market conditions related to sales price.
  3. Maintaining the market share and planning for enhanced product differentiation.
  4. Maintaining the market share, ensuring product differentiation, and adapting to price changes or required changes in production volume.

With respect to price elasticity of demand:

  1. The shorter the time period, the more product demand becomes elastic because less choices are available.
  2. Product demand is more elastic when fewer substitutes are available.
  3. Product demand is more inelastic when more substitutes are available.
  4. Product demand is more elastic when more substitutes are available.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Choice "d" is correct. Product demand is more elastic when more substitutes are available.
Choice "a" is incorrect. The longer the time period, the more product demand becomes elastic because more choices are available.
Choice "b" is incorrect. Product demand is more elastic when more substitutes are available, not fewer substitutes.
Choice "c" is incorrect. Product demand is more inelastic when few substitutes are available.



If demand is price inelastic:

  1. An increase in price will result in a decrease in total revenue.
  2. An increase in price will result in an increase the quantity demanded that is more than the increase in price.
  3. An increase in price will result in an increase in total revenue.
  4. An increase in price will have no effect on total revenue.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Choice "c" is correct. If demand is price inelastic, an increase in price will result in an increase in total revenue (positive relationship).
Choice "b" is incorrect. When demand is price inelastic, an increase in price results in a decrease in quantity demanded that is proportionately smaller than the increase in price, thus having the result of an increase in total revenue (price multiplied by quantity).
Choices "a" and "d" are incorrect, per the above statement.



If demand is price elastic:

  1. An increase in price will result in a decline in total revenue.
  2. An increase in price will result in a decline the quantity demanded that is less than the increase in price.
  3. An increase in price will result in an increase in total revenue.
  4. An increase in price will have no effect on total revenue.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Choice "a" is correct. If demand is price elastic, an increase in price will result in a decline in total revenue (negative relationship).
Choice "b" is incorrect. When demand is price elastic, an increase in price results in a decline in quantity demanded that is proportionately larger than the increase in price, thus having the result of a decline in total revenue (price multiplied by quantity).
Choices "c" and "d" are incorrect, per the above statement.
