Correct Answer: Salary refers to the fixed amount paid on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.

A salary is best described as a fixed amount of income that is paid to an individual on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.
A salary can also be described as the annual earnings paid out over a year.
Correct Answer: its supply or demand is not sensitive to price changes.
Explanation:
If the percent change in quantity demanded is less than the percent change in price, economists label the demand for the good as inelastic.
A good that is inelastic does not have very stretchy demand. In economic terms, the quantity demanded does not change a lot when the price changes.
So, if the price of a good increases by 10 percent and the quantity demanded decreases by only 5 percent or less than 10, that good is said to have inelastic demand.
Hence, in this case, consumers are not considered very sensitive, or responsive, to a change in the price of that good.
Correct Answer: the higher the price of a good, the lesser the quantity demanded
Explanation:
The law of demand implies that "The higher the price of a good, the lesser the quantity demanded".
For example:
If the rate of a mobile phone increased, the quantity demanded by the customers is decreased.
