change in price of a commodity leads to less than one per cent change in quantity demanded by the consumers. Products that exhibit inelastic demand have an almost constant demand no matter the change in prices. Figure 1: Diagram illustrating inelastic demand As shown from diagram above‚ the price changes from P1 to P2 and quantity fall from Q1 to Q2. The decrease in quantity demanded is not proportional to decrease in quantity demanded.In perfectly inelastic demand‚ change in prices leads to

the assumption that alcohol addiction and its demand are associated with the price of alcohol. We apply the ceteris paribus assumption that all other associated costs remain unchanged such as price of manufacturing‚ availability‚ and distribution costs.

Market-skimming pricing: two examples came to my mind when I saw this concept‚ Samsung and Apple. As I know that‚ Samsung often set an extremely high price when they release a new cellphone‚ after few
