Directions (Q.1 - 5) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

h a
Goldman Sachs predicted that crude oil price would hit $ 200 and just as it appeared that alternative
renewable energy had a chance of becoming an economically viable option, the international price of oil fell

i b
by over 70%. After hitting the all-time high of $ 147 a barrel, a month ago, crude fell to less than $40 a
barrel. What explains this sharp decline in the international price of oil? There has not been any major new

a t
discovery of a hitherto unknown source of oil or as. The short answer is that the demand does not have to fall
by a very sizeable quantity for the price of crude to respond as it did. In the short run, the price elasticity of

p r
demand for crude oil is very low. Conversely, in the short run, even a relatively big change in the price of oil
does not immediately lower consumption. It takes months, or years, of high oil price to inculcate habits of

without making any major dent in demand.

d u
energy conservation. World crude oil price had remained at over $ 60 a barrel for most of 2005 - 2007

n a
The long answer is more complex. The economic slowdown in the US, Europe and Asia along with
dollar depreciation and commodity speculation have been all had some role in the downward descent in the

e
international price of oil. In recent years, the supply of oil has been rising but not enough to catch up with the

e
rising demand, resulting in an almost vertical escalation in its price. The number of crude oil futures and

.
options contracts have also increased manifold which has led to significant speculation in the oil market. In

w w e t
comparison, the role of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in fixing crude price has
considerably weakened. OPEC is often accused of operating as a cartel restricting output thus keeping prices

w . n
artificially high. It did succeed in setting the price of crude during the 1970s and the first half of the 80's. But,
with increased futures trading and contracts, the control of crude pricing has moved from OPEC to banks and
markets that deal with futures trading and contracts. It is true that most oil exporting regions of the world have

h a
remained politically unstable fueling speculation over the price of crude. But there is little evidence that the
geographical uncertainties in west Asia have improved to weaken the price of oil. Threatened by the

i b
downward slide of oil price, OPEC has, in fact, announced its decision to curtail output.
However most oil importers will have a sign of relief as they find their oil import bills decline except

a t
for those who bought options to import oil at prices higher than market prices. Exporting nations, on the other
hand, will see their economic prosperity slip. Relatively low price of crude is also bad news for investments

1.
p r
in alternative renewable energy that cannot compete with cheaper and non-renewable sources of energy.
What does the phrase "the price elasticity of demand for crude oil is very low", imply?

d u

n a
2) A small change in demand will result in a sharp change in the price of crude
3) Within a short span of time the price of crude oil has fluctuated sharply

4) Speculation in oil does not have much of an impact on its price

.
5) None of the above
