Suppose the demand for meals at a medium-priced restaurant is elastic. If the management of the restaurant is considering rasiing prices, it can expect a relatively

Large fall in quantity demanded
Large fall in demand
Small fall in quantity demanded
Small fall in demand

The correct answer is: A. Large fall in quantity demanded.

Demand is elastic when a small change in price leads to a large change in quantity demanded. In other words, consumers are very sensitive to changes in price. If the management of a medium-priced restaurant raises prices, it can expect a relatively large fall in the quantity of meals demanded. This is because consumers will be more likely to choose to eat at a lower-priced restaurant or cook at home.

Option B is incorrect because it states that the management of the restaurant can expect a large fall in demand. This would be the case if demand was inelastic, but the question states that demand is elastic.

Option C is incorrect because it states that the management of the restaurant can expect a small fall in quantity demanded. This would be the case if demand was inelastic, but the question states that demand is elastic.

Option D is incorrect because it states that the management of the restaurant can expect a small fall in demand. This would be the case if demand was inelastic, but the question states that demand is elastic.
