Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

The price elasticity of demand measures buyer responsiveness to a price change. If the price elasticity of demand coefficient equals 1.2, this means that for every 1 percent change in price there will be a 1.2 percent change in the quantity demanded in the opposite direction. This implies that consumers are relatively responsive to a change in the price and therefore the demand for this product is elastic.
