Sample AP Microeconomics practice question

A shortage of semiconductor chips increases production costs for video game consoles. If the demand for consoles is relatively price elastic, how will the equilibrium price and quantity change compared to a situation where demand is price inelastic?

Price will rise less and quantity will fall more

Correct answer

Price will rise more and quantity will fall less

Price will rise less and quantity will fall less

Price will rise more and quantity will fall more

Price will remain constant and quantity will fall more

Explanation

Consumers with elastic demand are highly sensitive to price increases, leading to a large drop in quantity demanded that prevents producers from raising prices significantly.
