Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The price elasticity of demand is a unit-free measure of responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to a change in its price when all other influences on buyers plans remain the same. To calculate the price elasticity of demand we divide the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price.
