price elasticity of demand on change in a firm’s revenue‚ it is significant to analyze the price elasticity of demand itself. The price elasticity of demand reflects the relation between price and quantity. An elastic demand means that the quantity demanded is relatively responsive to changes in price i.e. Elasticity > 1. It is calculated as: Price Elasticity of Demand = % ∆ Quantity demanded

responsiveness of a supply or demand curve in relation to price: the more elastic a curve‚ the more quantity will change with changes in price. In contrast‚ the more inelastic a curve‚ the harder it will be to change quantity consumed‚ even with large changes in price. For the most part‚ Goods with elastic demand tend to be goods which aren’t very important to consumers‚ or goods for which consumers can find easy substitutes. Goods with inelastic demands tend to be necessities‚ or goods for which consumers cannot

affect the total revenue of NSU we will need to look at the price elasticity of demand to see whether an increase in the tuition fee would cause a total revenue increase or decrease. This is dependent on whether the demand is elasticity demand or inelastic demand. To better understand how this works allow me to explain the term elasticity.

First section: Information Price elasticity of demand Elasticity is a term widely used in economics to denote the “responsiveness of one variable to changes in another.” In proper words‚ it is the relative response of one variable to changes in another variable. The phrase “relative response” is best interpreted as the percentage change. Price elasticity of demand (PED or Ed) is a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness‚ or elasticity‚ of the quantity demanded of a good or service
