Which of the following statements is the best interpretation of the coefficient of the Price Elasticity of Demand in Question 1? There will be a 0.66 percent decrease in the Quantity Demanded. A 1 percent increase in the Price of a good corresponds to a 0.66 percent decrease in the Quantity Demanded for that good. A 1 percent increase in the Price of a good corresponds to a 1.55 percent increase in the Quantity Demanded for that good. Given the Price increase of a good, there will be no change in the Quantity Demanded for that good. Given the Price increase of a good, there will be an inelastic response. A 1 percent increase in the Price of a good corresponds to a 1.55 percent decrease in the Quantity Demanded for that good.
