I will also explain whether demand would tend to be more or less elastic for availability of substitutes‚ share of consumer income devoted to a good‚ and consumer’s time horizon‚ and give examples of each. Then‚ I will explain the logical impacts to business decision making that result from each. Last‚ I will differentiate between perfectly inelastic demand and perfectly

price level of the product‚ a product may be perfectly elastic‚ perfect inelastic and unitary‚ when a good’s elasticity is perfectly inelastic then a change in the price of the product will not change the amount demanded‚ a perfect elastic product is that which its demand will change by a large magnitude than the change in price. It is a tool for measuring the responsiveness of a function to changes in parameters in a relative way. An "elastic" good is one whose price elasticity of demand has a

is greater than one in absolute value‚ the demand is said to be elastic; it is highly responsive to changes in price. Demands with an elasticity less than one in absolute value are inelastic; the demand is weakly responsive to price changes. Interpretation of elasticity Value Meaning n = 0 Perfectly inelastic. 0 < n < 1 Relatively inelastic. n = 1 Unit elastic. 1 < n < ∞ Relatively elastic. n = ∞ Perfectly elastic.

would the firm’s revenue change if it lowered price from $12 to $10? Is the demand elastic or inelastic in this range? | When P = $12‚ R = ($12)(1) = $12. When P = $10‚ R = ($10)(2) = $20. Thus‚ the price decrease results in an $8 increase in total revenue‚ so demand is elastic over this range of prices. How much would the firm’s revenue change if it lowered price from $4 to$2? IS the demand elastic or inelastic in this range? | When P = $4‚ R = ($4)(5) = $20. When P = $2‚ R = ($2)(6) = $12

when there is a change in price. When the quantity demanded of a product changes greatly compared to the change in price‚ this is known as an elastic demand. This is because there is a proportionately greater change in the quantity demanded than the price‚ hence in the formula for PED = % change in Qd / % change in Price‚ when PED > 1‚ it is an elastic product. For example‚ if a product’s price increases from $2000 to $2500 there is a change of 25%‚ and the quantity demanded changes from 5000

A price increase under inelastic demand will lead to an increase in total revenue.
