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

Dropbox Assignment #2 An elastic demand is a demand that if the price changes the quantity that is demanded changes quite a bit‚ and an inelastic demand is no matter the price there will still be a demand for it (Economics‚ 2017). Generally‚ an elastic demand is a type of good that is more of a want rather a need‚ and an inelastic demand would be something that would be along the lines of a necessity. To figure out the elasticity a person would use the equation: (% change in quantity/% change in

demand and compute the coefficient of elasticity given appropriate data on prices and quantities. 2. Explain the meaning of elastic‚ inelastic‚ and unitary price elasticity of demand. 3. Recognize graphs of perfectly elastic and perfectly inelastic demand. 4. Use the total-revenue test to determine whether elasticity of demand is elastic‚ inelastic‚ or unitary. 5. List four major determinants of price elasticity of demand. 6. Explain how a change in each of the determinants

energy (Ek = ½ mv2)‚ energy the object now possesses due to its motion. An inelastic collision‚ where an object collides with another and springs apart‚ occurs when the object hits the ground. According to Newton’s 3rd law‚ both the ground and object exert an equal but opposite force on each other upon collision‚ but as the ground is more massive than the object; it is the object that is rebound. However‚ also upon collision‚ kinetic energy is transformed into other types of energy‚ such as heat‚ elastic

Reversible lanes‚ where certain sections of highway operate in the opposite direction on different times of the day/ days of the week‚ to match asymmetric demand. These pose a potential for collisions‚ if drivers do not notice the change in direction indicators. This may be controlled by Variable-message signs or by movable physical separation. Separate lanes for specific user groups (usually with the goal of higher people throughput with fewer

the government should be able to determine the responsiveness of demand in order to accurately estimate the amount of revenue they will raise. The purpose of a tax is to collect revenue and its effect is to raise the price of a good so the more inelastic the demand curve‚ the smaller the resulting change in quantity demanded of the good when the tax is raised. The government creates excise taxes (taxes levied on alcohol‚ cigarettes‚ etc.) to shift the market supply curve of a commodity being taxed

State the factors affecting the price elasticity of demand? The type of product will affect the price elasticity of demand i.e. a necessity such as petrol will have a inelastic demand as it is a must have for consumers so a change in price will cause only a minor change in price whereas if a product is not a necessity for consumers it will have an elastic demand meaning a small change in price could lead to a greater change in quantity demanded The proportion of the consumers income spent on a product
