Cooper, "Price Elasticity of Demand for Crude Oil: Estimate for 23 Countries," OPEC Review, March, 2003, pp. 1-8. The demand for crude oil .A. is price elastic in both the short and long run as there exists many substitutes for crude oil.
B. is more price elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found.
C. is more price inelastic in the long run than in the short run because in the short run a substitute for crude oil may be found.

B. is more price elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found

Explanation:

The Demand for Crude oil is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found.

Crude oil is more elastic in the long run because consumers have enough time to find substitute products for crude oil. Price elasticity of demand in the short run is low because consumers donot have sufficient time to look for substitutes , they donot have much of a choice but to take whatever price is charged by producers of crude oil

B) is more price elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found.

Explanation:

First of all, the demand for oil is extremely inelastic in both the short run and the long run. It is extremely inelastic in the short run, because alternative energy sources or alternative materials are not a possibility in the short run. For example, Tesla which is one the most valuable car makers in the world, only sold 367,500 cars last year, while the Volkswagen group (sells 12 different car brands) sold over 10 million.

On the long run, the demand for oil is still very inelastic, but much less than in the short run. The PED in the short run is 0.061 v. 0.453 in the long run. Hopefully in the long run we (as humanity as a whole) will find a cleaner and safer substitute for oil. The probability of an oil substitute in the future makes the PED more elastic or it is better to say, less inelastic.

Daniel owns 100 shares of abc corporation's common stock. abc uses the fair value option, and recent declines in the firm's credit rating have caused the value of the firm's outstanding bonds payable to drop by 10%. daniel feels this is good news, but he wants to know what you think about the situation. which of the following represents your best response? a : "this situation may be positive for you in that the change in abc's credit standing indicates that the value of the firm's assets is likely increasing. however, the drop in bond value may negate any positive effects on your bottom line, because it means your claim on the firm's assets is simultaneously decreasing." b : "actually, this is bad news all around. the drop in the value of abc's bonds payable means shareholders' claims on the firm's assets have decreased. moreover, abc's declining credit rating means that the firm's assets are probably also dropping in value, thus magnifying your losses even more." c : "on the surface, this seems like good news because it means your claim on the firm's assets has increased. however, the drop in creditworthiness may also indicate that abc's assets are declining in value, thus offsetting any gains associated with the drop in bonds payable." d : "you're right! this is good news because it means that abc's debtholders have a decreased claim on the firm's assets. as a result, the firm's existing shareholders"like you"have seen their claim on the firm's assets increase."
