Answer to Question 1

The magnitude of the price elasticity of demand for a good depends on three main influences:
 Closeness of substitutes. The more easily people can substitute other items for a particular good, the larger is the price elasticity of demand for that good.
 The proportion of income spent on the good. The larger the portion of the consumer's budget being spent on a good, the greater is the price elasticity of demand for that good.
 The time elapsed since a price change. Usually, the more time that has passed after a price change, the greater is the price elasticity of demand for a good.
