Price elasticity of demand measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good X to a given change to a price of itself‚ ceteris paribus. Price elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the proportionate change in quantity demanded by the proportionate change in price. When PED is greater than one (PED > 1) demand is said to be elastic When PED is between zero to one (0 > PED > 1) demand in said to be inelastic When PED is equal to one (PED > 1) demand is said to be unit-elastic

Price elasticity of demand is the measurement of how responsive a good or service is demanded based on a percentage change in price. It is calculated by dividing the percentage change in the quantity demanded by the percentage change in the price of the good or service. There are many factors that the price elasticity of demand that are considered such as ranges‚ determinants and relationships with revenue. Price elasticity of demand has three ranges when determined. The first is elastic demand

Assignment 2 Price Elasticity Of Demand Price Elasticity of Demand is the quantitative measure of consumer behavior whereby there is indication of response of quantity demanded for a product or service to change in price of the good or service ( Mankiw‚2007). The Price Elasticity of Demand is calculated using either the point method or the midpoint method. The Point Method Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage change of Quantity Demanded Percentage change of Price The Midpoint Method

businessman would always raise prices when facing an inelastic demand curve‚ but might or might not raise prices when facing an elastic 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

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
