The price elasticity for the demand for food is most likely to be _____
0,3.
1,8.
2,6.
5,2.
The demand for food tends to be inelastic. The main reason for this is we need food to survive, it is a necessity. Secondly, we know that the
broader the definition of a good, the more inelastic the demand tends to be. Note we are dealing here with the demand for food, which has no
substitutes. If we break food down into different categories of food, for example, chicken and mutton the elasticities would tend to be greater
(substitutes and so on). 0,3 is the only alternative showing a value of less than 1 and is therefore the most likely correct alternative.

The price elasticity of demand of medical care (0,31) is smaller than 1 and is therefore inelastic.
