has an inelastic demand. Inelastic demand refers to the situation where one unit increase or decrease in the product’s price cause less than one dollar change in the units demanded of that product (Kreps‚ D. M. 1990). If product is luxurious‚ its demand is usually elastic in nature. Elastic demand means one unit change in the price of a product causes more than one unit change in its quantity demanded. E.g. the automobiles and mobiles have elastic demand while salt and sugar have inelastic demand

Elasticity of Demand is shown when there is a percentage change in the quantity demanded to the percentage change in the price. When the coefficient is greater than 1‚ the demand is elastic. When the coefficient is less than 1‚ the demand is inelastic. When the coefficient is equal to 1‚ the demand is of unit-elasticity. Cross-price elasticity is demonstrated when there is a percentage change in the demand for one good relative to a percentage change in the price of another good. When the coefficient

Demand Elasticity Matthew Costa Centenary College Demand elasticity is a tool used by economists and firms to determine price points of products used by the consumer. The law of demand states that increasing the price of a good reduces the goods quantity demanded. The relationship is important and somewhat obvious. Similarly‚ demand reacts to changes in incomes‚ the price of related goods‚ and advertising efforts. Demand elasticity measures the responsiveness of one economic variable to another

good‚ what will happen to the demand and supply of the good? This is when the theory of elasticity comes to play. Government should impose tax on cigarettes as it is price inelastic. According to Investopedia (2010) states that smoker with fewer substitutes will continue purchasing cigarettes as cigarettes are inelastic when price of cigarettes increases. An increase in price would bring a small reduction in quantity demanded. The diagram above shows the effects of tax towards the demand and

The burden of tax can also be shifted by the firm onto the consumer to compensate for maybe an increased cost of producing a good.
