When does supply curve look like a demand curve?
When supply and demand are perfectly elastic/inelastic
Why is it difficult to judge elasticity of demand or supply if you are merely observing the appearance of a demand or supply curve on a graph?
Because it is basically curved shape, therefore, there are points/areas on the curve where the demand or supply will be elastic and on some other parts be inelastic. At the top of the curve, demand/supply tends to be inelastic and at the bottom of the curve, it tends to be elastic. Obviously, the more you go up the more we reach the perfectly inelastic demand/supply and the further you go down the curve, the more you reach the perfectly elastic demand/supply
True or False the steeper the demand curve the less elastic the demand curve?
It is false that the steeper the demand curve the less elastic the demand curve. The steeper line is used in economics to indicate the inelastic demand curve.
What does A perfect elastic supply curve look like?
Demand and cost are inversely related, i.e., as the cost goes up, the demand goes down, and as cost goes down, demand goes up. So any two cost-demand curves are are inversely related constitute a perfect elastic supply curve.
What happens if demand curve interacts with the supply curve?
Then demand and supply are equal.
What is the difference between price elastic and unit elastic?
Unit elastic - Describes a supply or demand curve which is perfectly responsive to changes in price. That is, the quantity supplied or demanded changes according to the same percentage as the change in price. A curve with an elasticity of 1 is unit elastic.
Why is world supply curve horizontal?
The world supply curve is considered perfectly elastic.
What is needed to dertermine the equilibrium of a good or service?
by finding where the supply curve and the demand curve intersect
What is the distinctive feature of the demand curve of a firm in pure competition?
The demand curve would be perfectly elastic.
