Where the curve meets the price axis

Everywhere along the curve

At the mid-point of the curve

Nowhere along the curve

There are few substitutes available

The product accounts for a small percentage of consumer expenditure

The product is a normal good

When an economy grows, firms would prefer to be making inferior goods rather than making normal goods

If a firm notices that the price of a substitute for its product has fallen, it would prefer the CED between the products to be far from zero rather than close to zero

If a firm notices that the price of a complement for its product has risen, it would prefer the CED between the products to be far from zero rather than close to zero

If a firm’s costs increase and it has to increase the price of its output, it would prefer demand to be price inelastic rather than price elastic
