A horizontal supply curve parallel to the quantity axis implies that the elasticity of supply is
A. Zero
B. Infinite
C. Equal to 1
D. Greater than 0 but less than 1
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
A horizontal supply curve parallel to the quantity axis implies that the elasticity of supply is Infinite. The horizontal supply curve shows another extreme case, i.e., that of perfectly inelastic supply. The implication of such a supply curve is that a little price cut will cause the quantity supplied to fall to zero while a slightest increase in price will induce purchasers to offer an infinitely large quantity.The capital that is consumed by an economy or a firm in the production process is known as
A. Capital loss
B. Production cost
C. Dead-weight loss
D. Depreciation
Who propounded the opportunity cost theory of international trade?
A. Ricardo

Which among the following statement is INCORRECT?
A. On a linear demand curve, all the five forms of elasticity can be depicted
B. If two demand curves are linear and intersecting each other, then, coefficient of elasticity would be same on different demand curves at the point of intersection.
C. If two demand curves are linear and parallel to each other, then, at a particular price, the coefficient of elasticity would be different on different demand curves.
D. The price elasticity of demand is expressed in terms of relaive not absolute changes in Price and Quantity demanded.
A. Increase
B. Decrease
C. Remain the same
D. Become zero
