about a large change in quantity (i.e. a 1% change in price yields a 2% increase in the quantity demanded) the good or service is elastic (Bain & Dicks‚ 2014). If‚ however‚ a small change in price brings about an even smaller change in the amount (i.e. a 1% change in price yields a 0.2% increase in quantity demanded) the good or service is said to have a price inelastic demand (Bain & Dicks‚ 2014). “The price elasticity of demand tackled by the monopolistically competitive market depends on

are many possible outcomes which range from zero to infinity. If the PED value is between zero and one‚ then elasticity is said to be “Inelastic”‚ meaning there would be less response or change in quantity demanded when there is a change in the price of a product. On the other hand‚ if the PED value is between 1 and infinity‚ then elasticity is said to be “elastic”‚ which means that the quantity demanded will fall significantly when the price of the product is raised. There are many different determinants
