    Question

    According to the kinked demand curve model, if a firm

    raises its price, competitors are likely to:
    A Ignore it Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Increase their prices Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Not follow the price increase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Decrease output Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution: The kinked demand curve model suggests that an oligopoly firm faces: Β· Elastic demand for price increases (rivals don’t follow, firm loses many customers). Β· Inelastic demand for price cuts (rivals match price cuts, firm gains few customers). Hence, firms avoid raising prices, leading to price rigidity.
