Question: Assume that an economist has estimated the price elasticity of demand values in the table above. Use the data in the table to select the correct statement.
A. The demand for Coca - Cola is inelastic.
B. There are fewer substitutes for "All carbonated soft drinks" than there are for "All soft drinks."
C. The difference in elasticity values is explained by the fact that the more narrowly we define a market the more elastic the demand will be.
