production possibilities.
elasticity.
slope.
Question 10 (10 points)
The price elasticity of a good will tend to be greater:
Question 10 options:

the fewer number of substitute goods available.
if it is a staple or necessity with few substitutes.
All of the above are true.

Question 11 (10 points)
(Exhibit: Supply and Demand in Agriculture) To help farmers:
Question 11 options:
a price floor would be set at P4, causing a surplus of Q3 - Q0.
a price floor would be set at P2, causing a surplus of Q2 - Q0.
a price ceiling would be set at P4, causing a surplus of Q2 - Q1.
a price floor would be set at P1, causing a shortage of Q3 - Q0.
Question 12 (10 points)
(Exhibit: Supply and Demand in Agriculture) If a price floor at P4 is set to help farmers in terms of income and government wants to assure farmers that their output will be purchased, the government would have to purchase an amount of output equal to:
Question 12 options:
Q3 - Q0.
Q3 - Q1.
Q2 - Q1.

Question 13 (10 points)
(Exhibit: Supply and Demand in Agriculture) If the government set an effective price floor at one of the prices shown on the vertical axis:
Question 13 options:
with this much wheat on the market, the price would fall to P1.
Q3 bushels of wheat would be supplied.
the resulting shortage would be made up by the government out of its accumulated stocks.
all of the above would be true.
