curve shows in both graphs when the quantity at each price is doubled what it was. However‚ the curve in demand for pharmaceutical drugs is drawn with a relatively steep slope as inelastic products. Equilibrium price down-sloping along the demand curve while quantity in both market increased to some extent. b. In inelastic demand of pharmaceutical drugs‚ the percentage change in price is greater than the percentage change in quantity demanded. While in elastic demand‚ the percentage in price is less

at. First of all‚ the price elasticity of demand is a measure of responsiveness of the quantity of a good or service demanded to change in its price. Petrol is an inelastic product. This is because petrol is a needed in a daily basis. An increase in price of petrol will cause a small change (decrease) in petrol. Therefore it is inelastic as its quantity demanded has a small responsive to the price. Figure 1.1 illustrates
