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

Correct Answer: Economic resources are limited.
Explanation:
Economic resources are those goods and services that can be converted into valuable products for individual and business purposes.
There are four major types of economic resources:

Land and labor are natural and human resources, while capital means physical resources or money.
