Which of the following would cause a demand curve for a good to be price inelastic?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Essential goods and services such as electricity, fuel, basic food stuffs, commuter transport and habitual products such as tobacco, alcohol and sugar-based drinks are often sited as facing a relatively inelastic demand curve. This means when the price goes up, the quantity demanded does not decrease very much and so they are often the target of government taxation.

Substitutes definitely make demand more elastic, not inelastic.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on the architecture repository and governance processes to figure out the right response.

I think the term might be differential rates, but I'm not completely sure. It seems like a good fit for what we discussed in class.

Okay, let's see. Sunk costs, resistance to change, and unclear objectives all make sense as reasons. But increased ownership of work? I'm not so sure about that one. I'll have to double-check my understanding.

I remember practicing a similar question where it was about the key used for authenticating specific IP ranges. I'll go with that angle.
