The following graph displays four demand curves (PP, QQ, RR, and SS) that intersect at point V. 100 90 80 70 8 PRICE (Dollars per unit) 8 8 30 20 10 0 17 0 P 10 20 a W R 30 20 S +**+ + S N 40 50 60 70 QUANTITY (Units) R 80 90 100 ? Using the graph, complete the table that follows by indicating whether each statement is true or false. Statement Between points V and W, curve PP is perfectly elastic. Between points V and Y, curve RR is elastic. Curve RR is less elastic between points V and Y than curve QQ is between points V and X. True O False
