Explanation
Demand Curve Characteristics for Wills' Product
Steps:
- Identify the type of demand curve based on price sensitivity.
- Recall that perfectly inelastic demand means quantity demanded remains constant regardless of price changes.
- Compare options to standard elasticity definitions.
- Select the matching description without additional data.
Not enough information to confirm the demand type for Wills' product, as no price-quantity data or elasticity calculation is provided.
Why D is correct:
- Assumes the given correct option; perfectly inelastic demand is a vertical curve where quantity demanded is fixed (elasticity = 0), per economic definition.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Unitary elasticity shows proportional price-quantity changes (elasticity = 1), not fixed quantity.
- B: Downward-sloping straight line implies elastic or inelastic but not perfectly so.
- C: Perfectly elastic is horizontal, with infinite quantity response to price.
Final answer: D
Topic: Price elasticity, income elasticity and cross elasticity of demand
