The bond demand curve is ________ sloping, indicating a(n) ________ relationship between the price and quantity demanded of bonds, everything else equal.
举一反三
- The slope of the demand curve is not the same as the price elasticity of demand because the slope of a demand curve ( ) A: compares percentage changes in quantity demanded and price. B: compares absolute changes in quantity demanded and price. C: obeys the law of demand. D: is not constant when the demand curve is linear.
- If the market price of a good is below the equilibrium price ______ A: quantity demanded Hill exceed quantity supplied, resulting in a shortage. B: quantity demanded Hill exceed quantity supplied, resulting in a surplus. C: quantity supplied will exceed quantity demanded, resulting in a shortage. D: quantity supplied will exceed quantity demanded, resulting in a surplus. E: the supply curve will shift to the left and the demand curve will shift to the right.
- A straight-line demand curve with negative slope intersects the horizontal axis at 200 tons per week. The point on the demand curve at which the price elasticity of demand is 1 corresponds to a quantity demanded A: of 0 tons. B: of 100 tons. C: of 200 tons. D: that would be negative if a negative quantity demanded were possible.
- The supply curve for bonds has the usual upward slope, indicating that as the price _________, ceteris paribus, the _________ increases. A: falls; supply B: falls; quantity supplied C: rises; supply D: rises; quantity supplied
- For a horizontal demand curve, A: the slope is undefined, and the price elasticity of demand is equal to 0. B: the slope is equal to 0, and the price elasticity of demand is undefined. C: both the slope and price elasticity of demand are undefined. D: both the slope and price elasticity of demand are equal to 0.
