If a small percentage increase in the price of a good greatly reduces the quantity demanded for theat good, the demand for that good is

a price inelastic.

b price elastic.

c unit price elastic.

d income inelastic.

e income elastic.

Price elastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of good refers to the responsiveness of the quantity demanded with any change in the price level. When a slightly increase in the price level of a particular good results in large reduction in the quantity demanded will generally have a price elastic demand.

Elasticity of demand:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded : Percentage change in price

For example:

Percentage Increase in price = 10% and

Percentage decrease in quantity demanded = 15%

Elasticity of demand = 15 : 10

= 1.5
