In May last year, the government revised the base year for WPI-based inflation to 2011-12 to give a better indication of changes in prices of commodities.

- B. consumers have lost an interest in purchasing it.
- C. producers have lost an interest in manufacturing it.
- D. its supply or demand is too sensitive to price changes. Also asked in: CAT, Bank Exams, AIEEE, Bank PO, Bank Clerk, Analyst
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.
