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

Unlike PED‚ there is no Total Revenue Test for Price Elasticity of Supply. * Because there is a direct relationship between Price & Total revenue‚ they always move together.

What is the formula for measuring price elasticity of demand? Percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price When the price elasticity coefficient is less than 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded is smaller than the change in price. When the price elasticity coefficient is equal to 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the change in price. When the price elasticity coefficient is greater than 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded
