Question
When the price of a commodity decreases, and its demand
curve forms a rectangular hyperbola, what happens to the total expenditure on that commodity?Solution
This is because when the demand curve is a rectangular hyperbola, the price elasticity of demand is equal to one (unit elastic). Therefore, a decrease in price is exactly offset by an increase in quantity demanded, leaving total expenditure unchanged.
