UGC-NET 2024 Question 64: Demand theory and elasticity

Identify the correct statements from below: (A) When the price consumption curve (PCC) for a good is parallel to the horizontal axis, the demand function for the good is unitary elastic. (B) Given log⁡D=α+βlog⁡y+γlog⁡p\log D = \alpha + \beta \log y + \gamma \log plogD=α+βlogy+γlogp, then elasticity of log⁡D\log DlogD with respect to log⁡p\log plogp is γ\gammaγ. (C) The condition for stability in the simple Keynesian system is 0<MPC<10 < MPC < 10<MPC<1. (D) The fixed cost curve is a rectangular hyperbola. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
