Answer to Question 1

percentage change in quantity demanded = 600  800/700 = -200/700 = -28.6
percentage change in price = 0.30 - 0.20/0.15 = 0.10/0.15 = 66.7
price elasticity of demand = -28.6/66.7 = -0.43

Since the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is less than one, the demand is inelastic.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
