Explanation / Answer

Auctions in recent years have resulted in higher prices paid for letters written by john wilkes booth than those written by Abraham Lincoln. The demand for lincoln letters increases and supply of booth letter increases would cause the price differences in these letters to get smaller.

Jenna runs a small boutique in Capitola. She tells one of her suppliers that she is willing to pay $6 for a pair of wool hand warmers and not a dime more . On the basis of this infomation , we can conclude that her price elasticity of demand for wool hand warmers is perfectly elastic. Because she doesn't want to pay more than $6 , soher demand curve looks like a horizontal line.
