ELASTICITY It shows the degree of responsiveness of the change in the one variable due to the change in the quantity of the other variable. Elasticity = Percentage change in the one variable Percentage change in the other variable It is simply a way of quantifying cause of and effect relationship. The concept of elasticity can be used in demand and supply. ELASTICITY OF DEMAND We can study the elasticity of demand under the following categories. Price elasticity

Supply: Government and Price Control (in-case kailangan) Price Control – Refers to the fixing of prices by the government. By doing so‚ it creates shortage or surplus. Price Ceiling – A maximum price at which a good can be sold. Price Floor – Minimum price buyers are required to pay for a good. Elasticity The price elasticity of demand is computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. That is‚ Price elasticity of demand=ED= Percentage

The Changing Price Elasticity of Demand for Domestic Airline Travel Consumers make economic decisions as to what they buy based largely on price. More specifically‚ the change in the amount of a good purchased is often highly dependent on its change in price. That measure of responsiveness is defined as the price elasticity of demand. Mathematically‚ it is often expressed as: Ed = - percent change in quantity demanded / percent change in price‚ or -(dQ/Q)/(dP/P). The minus sign is often

Price elasticity of demand (PED) is defined as the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good or service to a change in its price. Price Elasticity of Demand Percentage Change in Quantity Demand for product A Percentage Change in Price for Product A So‚ Percentage Change in Quantity Demand for Product A = PED X Percentage Change in Price for Product A Given‚ PED of Books= 2‚ Percentage Change in Price for Books = 10% So‚ Percentage Change in Demand for Books = 2 X 10% = 20%
