Explanation / Answer

Question 1

A fall in price of the final product produced by the firm will lower the profit-margin of the firm.

This will induce firm to cut production.

As firm will cut production, its demand for inputs used in production of stated final product will also decrease.

So, there will be reduction in demand for an input used to produce final product.

The correct answer is the letter (X).

Question 2

The price elasticity of demand for a variable input to be greater implies that elasticity of demand for a variable input is more elastic.

This can happen if long-run time period is considered because greater the time period, higher would be the chances to find substitute of the stated input.

So, longer the time period being considered, greater would be the price elasticity of demand for variable input.

The correct answer is the letter (W).
