They have typical three layer blood vessel wall structure with a thick tunica media. The walls of arteries are highly compliant due to the elastic fibres present. The wall thickness of the arteries varies in based on the proximity to the heart. The elasticity of arteries allows pressure absorption from the left ventricle of the heart as it pumps blood into the arteries. There are two significant types of arteries‚ elastic and muscular. Elastic arteries are the largest in the body and include the aorta

3.2 Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) and Cross Elasticity of Demand (CED) With predatory pricing and price wars being carried out‚ the drop in the prices of airline tickets has certainly affected other industries with different modes of transport. One example is the express buses. As the demand for express bus tickets is price elastic‚ the relative increase in the price of the tickets would result in a more than proportionate decrease in the quantity demanded for them. Such a prediction is highly

demand curve? Explain and justify your answers in detail. Price elasticity of demand is defined as percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. If the demand is elastic‚ consumer response is large relative to the change in price (e.g.‚ new car‚ airline travel). If demand is inelastic‚ consumers aren’t very responsive to price changes (e.g.‚ cigarettes‚ coffee). So based on concept of price elasticity‚ businessman’s total revenue may increase or decrease. When he

medical services‚ how will different supply elasticities affect total medical expenditures? An increase in demand will affect prices and quantity of services differently because it depends on the elasticity of supply. When supply is relatively elastic‚ increase in demand will be accompanied by a price increase‚ but it would be much less if supply were inelastic. Under elastic supply conditions‚ a much greater increase in services provided will occur. When supply is relatively inelastic‚ demand will

Price elasticity of demand In economics and business studies‚ the price elasticity of demand (PED) is an elasticity that measures the nature and degree of the relationship between changes in quantity demanded of a good and changes in its price. Introduction When the price of a good falls‚ the quantity consumers demand of the good typically rises; if it costs less‚ consumers buy more. Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of a change in quantity demanded for a good or service to

known as price elasticity. The price elasticity of demand can be influenced by availability of substitutes‚ the level of necessity or luxury‚ amount of income required by the product‚ the time period considered and permanent or temporary price change. In regards to substitute or alternative products‚ the more substitute products there are‚ the bigger the elasticity. In reference to necessity or luxury‚ one must understand that luxury products have a tendency to have a greater elasticity than necessities

Price Elasticity Elasticity‚ in layman terms can be defined as the ability of an object to stretch or transform in shape‚ and return to its original form. This definition can be applied to many facets of life. In business we say that it is a measure of responsiveness; ‘measure’ being an expression that suggests numerical factors. In economics‚ elasticity is commonly measured in the price elasticity of demand‚ and the price elasticity of supply. Price elasticity of demand is the measure

Price Elasticity of Demand Mark Vines 05/14/2011 DeVry University The demand for corn as an ingredient for an alternative energy source has had a profound effect on its supply as a core food ingredient. So‚ what has been the effect on the supply of corn and its substitute such as the soybean? The answer can be found by examining the five demand determinants and five supply determinants to see which ones will shift demand and supply. The demand determinants are known as T-I-P-E-N‚
