Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

The price elasticity of demand measures buyer responsiveness to a price change. If the price elasticity of demand coefficient equals 1.2, this means that for every 1 percent change in price there will be a 1.2 percent change in the quantity demanded in the opposite direction. This implies that consumers are relatively responsive to a change in the price and therefore the demand for this product is elastic.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
