Price elasticity of demand measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good X to a given change to a price of itself‚ ceteris paribus. Price elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the proportionate change in quantity demanded by the proportionate change in price. When PED is greater than one (PED > 1) demand is said to be elastic When PED is between zero to one (0 > PED > 1) demand in said to be inelastic When PED is equal to one (PED > 1) demand is said to be unit-elastic

Income Elasticity of Demand The Income Elasticity of Demand measures the degree to which consumers respond to a change in their incomes by buying more or less of a particular good. The coefficient of income elasticity of demand is determined with the formula: (% change in quantity demanded) / (% change in income) (McConnell & Brue). Income elasticity of demand is used to see how sensitive the demand for a good is to an income change. The higher the income elasticity‚ the more sensitive demand

Finding long-term drugs at low prices has been a dilemma for many individuals in the general population. However‚ these set prices—more often than not—are usually seen as obscene and unorthodox due to their low supply compared to such high demand‚ rendering a deficit in quantity demanded for a large number of consumers. As a conflict‚ contrary to what many would hope for‚ a vast number of drugs are not extensive which then cause the pricing methods to be rigorous. More importantly‚ several pricing

High Tuition Costs The cost of tuition for higher education is quickly rising. Over half of college freshmen show some concern with how to pay for college. This is the highest this number has been since 1971 (Marill and O’Leary 64-66‚ 93). The amount of college graduate debt has been rapidly increasing also.
