I'm not sure about this one. Shouldn't the price elasticity be somewhere between 0 and 1 since the demand for Technova smartphones seems relatively inelastic? I might go with B) 1.

I think you're on the right track. The price elasticity of demand for Technova smartphones is definitely less than 1.

Hmm, this question is testing our knowledge of price elasticity of demand. I think the answer is C) 1.5, since a 20% increase in sales due to a 8% decrease in price (from $250 to $230) would suggest a price elasticity of demand of around 1.5.
