Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The price elasticity of demand = (percentage change in the quantity demanded)  (percentage change in the price). Use the midpoint method to calculate the percentages. Thus the percentage change in the quantity demanded = (900,000 - 845,000 )  (872,500 ) = 6.3 percent and the percentage change in the price is (8 - 6 )  (7 ) = 28.6 percent. Therefore the elasticity of demand equals (6.3 percent)  (28.6 percent) = 0.22.
