to calculate the critical Price Elasticity of demand which is just sufficient to maintain the contribution to overheads and profits. This will be greater than that required to maintain revenue. A common issue in business and in business studies is whether a firm should change the prices at which products are offered. The calculations begin with estimates of the reaction of customers to the new prices. This reaction is represented as Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)‚ the ratio of the proportionate

ELASTICITY It shows the degree of responsiveness of the change in the one variable due to the change in the quantity of the other variable. Elasticity = Percentage change in the one variable Percentage change in the other variable It is simply a way of quantifying cause of and effect relationship. The concept of elasticity can be used in demand and supply. ELASTICITY OF DEMAND We can study the elasticity of demand under the following categories. Price elasticity

9 – Elasticity and Demand Demand and Elasticity Elasticity is a way to measure the responsiveness of a dependent variable to changes in an independent variable. Elasticity is defined as a ratio of the percentage change in a dependent variable to a percentage change in an independent variable. Elasticity ≡ percentage change of dependent variable Percentage change of independent variable When: Y = f(X) %ΔY E ≡ %ΔX Fal l ’05 © Reynolds 2005 Microeconomics Slide 1 Chapter 9 – Elasticity and Demand

*Application of Demand and Supply: Government and Price Control (in-case kailangan) Price Control – Refers to the fixing of prices by the government. By doing so‚ it creates shortage or surplus. Price Ceiling – A maximum price at which a good can be sold. Price Floor – Minimum price buyers are required to pay for a good. Elasticity The price elasticity of demand is computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. That is‚ Price elasticity of demand=ED=

The Changing Price Elasticity of Demand for Domestic Airline Travel Consumers make economic decisions as to what they buy based largely on price. More specifically‚ the change in the amount of a good purchased is often highly dependent on its change in price. That measure of responsiveness is defined as the price elasticity of demand. Mathematically‚ it is often expressed as: Ed = - percent change in quantity demanded / percent change in price‚ or -(dQ/Q)/(dP/P). The minus sign is often

INTRO Definition of ’Price Elasticity Of Demand’ A measure of the relationship between a change in the quantity demanded of a particular good and a change in its price. Price elasticity of demand is a term in economics often used when discussing price sensitivity. The formula for calculating price elasticity of demand is: Price Elasticity of Demand = % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price If a small change in price is accompanied by a large change in quantity demanded‚ the product

gasoline fell by only 35 percent. Source: The New York limes‚ October 13‚ 2005 1. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for gasoline implied by what most studies have found. (2.90-1.90/1.90)= 52.6 2. Compare the elasticity implied by the data for the period from September 2004 to September 2005 with that implied by most studies. What might explain the difference? Considering the elasticity is greater than 1 this means that this good is very elastic‚ so elastic that it is not as heavily affected
