The Kahoot provides an interesting example of the price elasticity of demand for water. Students are given enough information to calculate the price elasticity using the midpoint method. Since the coefficient is negative and between 0 and -1, the price elasticity of demand in inelastic – that is the correct answer. However, many students object, stating that they would never pay $5 for bottled water (their demand in elastic), to which you should respond, “It’s the Hilton, as long as bottled water drinkers value the convenience more that then extra price they pay, their demand is inelastic. Don’t confuse what you would do with what others decide to do.”

The question is designed to test your students intuition for which goods have elastic or inelastic demand. By utilizing the three primary determinants of demand (number of substitutes, the share of the budget spent on the good, and the time frame for making a decision) you can explain why three answers are wrong and one is correct.

This assessment question has two layers. First to answer the question correctly, the student must understand elasticity. Second, the student must understand that the tax burden is a function of the interplay between the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply. Unless your students are well-prepared and already understand this concept well, it is a good idea to illustrate the correct answer graphically to reinforce understanding.
