A. Discuss elasticity of demand as it pertains to elastic‚ unit‚ and inelastic demand. Elasticity of demand is gauged by the percentage of change in demand when the price of an item varies. If the change in the quantity demanded is greater than 1 the demand is elastic. Elasticity of demand is calculated by ED=quantity demanded/decrease in price. If you reduce the price of milk by 6%‚ and that causes an increase of quantity demanded by 9% the demand for milk is elastic (ED= .09/.06 = 1.5).
