The correct answer and explanation is:<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n To provide the correct answer and explanation, I\u2019ll clarify the concept of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)<\/strong> and how to classify its coefficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PED<\/strong> measures how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in its price. It is calculated as: PED=% change in quantity demanded% change in price\\text{PED} = \\frac{\\%\\ \\text{change in quantity demanded}}{\\%\\ \\text{change in price}}<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since you referenced my response in Question 2 but did not give the numeric coefficient here, I will summarize the classification method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the coefficient of the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) from Question 2 is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding the elasticity helps businesses and policymakers predict how changes in price affect total revenue and consumer behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without the numeric value, you classify the coefficient based on these rules. For example, if the PED was 0.5, the answer is B Inelastic<\/strong> because 0.5 < 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" classify the coefficient of the Price Elasticity of Demand.

\n\n\n\nPrice Elasticity of Demand (PED) \u2014 Overview:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nClassification of PED values:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
Quantity demanded changes more than proportionately<\/strong> to price change.
Consumers are very responsive to price changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Quantity demanded changes less than proportionately<\/strong> to price change.
Consumers are less responsive to price changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Quantity demanded changes exactly proportionately<\/strong> to price change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Quantity demanded changes infinitely with a tiny price change. Demand curve is horizontal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Quantity demanded does not change<\/strong> regardless of price change. Demand curve is vertical.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
