Question 13 / 4 pts

Part a1 / 1 pts

Point 1: Earned

94% sure

Reason: Correctly identifies demand for gasoline as inelastic.

Evidence: "The price of gasoline rises and the quantity falls only a little."

Part b2 / 3 pts

Point 1: Earned

91% sure

Reason: Graph shows relatively inelastic demand.

Evidence: Draws a steep demand curve.

Point 2: Earned

88% sure

Reason: Correct new equilibrium price.

Evidence: Shifts supply left, P1 → P2.

Point 3: Not earned

82% sure

Reason: With inelastic demand, a price increase raises total revenue.

Evidence: "Revenue goes down."
