Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

There are three important determinants of the price elasticity of demand. These are:
a) Closeness of substitutes: As the number of substitutes grows, the price elasticity of demand increases.
b) Budget share spent on the good: As a consumer spends more of his budget on a particular good, the good's price elasticity of demand increases.
c) Available time to adjust: The price elasticity of demand is lower for a good in the short run in comparison to the long run.
