    After watching the Section 5.3 Review and Section 6.2 Review videos I have realized that gas price changes are inelastic.

This means that when a price of a product changes‚ such as gas‚ it does not affect the demand of that good or service. I feel that consumers will be responsive to the price change when these fluctuations

    Task 1 The demand for newspaper is inelastic while the supply for newspaper is elastic in the short run. This means the quantity demanded for newspaper does not respond strongly to price changes but the quantity supplied for newspaper is responsive to price changes in the short run.

    I would say that when I think of a company that has inelastic demand on their products it would have to be Apple. Apple charges above average prices for their phones‚ computers and music players all with the marketing strategy of superior quality. When a company achieves inelastic demand it is because of two possible reasons. They have either developed highly differentiated products or brands or they have achieved a monopoly on a market or product category. (Tedesco‚ 2011) If you look at Apple they
