    Incorrect Answer

    Taxable incomeelasticity

    Incorrect Answer

    Income distribution

    Correct Answer
    Explanation:

    - The Lorenz Curve is a graphical representation. It depicts the distribution of income or wealth within an economy.

    - It plots the cumulative percentage of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest.

    - A perfectly equal income distribution is represented by a 45-degree line. The more the Lorenz Curve bows away from this line, the more inequality there is.

    - Option 1: Relationship between the price of a certain commodity and its demand is studied using demand curves, not the Lorenz Curve.

    - Option 2: The rate of employment refers to the percentage of the labor force that is employed and is analyzed using employment reports, not the Lorenz Curve.

    - Option 3: Taxable income elasticity measures how changes in taxation affect taxable income, not directly linked to the Lorenz Curve.

    - Option 4: Income distribution is correctly indicated by the Lorenz Curve’s graphical plot.

    - Your choice of option 4: Income distribution is correct.
