would always raise prices when facing an inelastic demand curve‚ but might or might not raise prices when facing an elastic demand curve? Explain and justify your answers in detail. Price elasticity of demand is defined as percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. If the demand is elastic‚ consumer response is large relative to the change in price (e.g.‚ new car‚ airline travel). If demand is inelastic‚ consumers aren’t very responsive to price changes (e.g.‚
