Price elasticity of demand (PED) is a measure of how much the quantity demanded changes when there is a change in the price of the product. It can be calculated using the formula: PED= Percentage change in Qd of the product/ Percentage change in price of the product. When determining the price elasticity of demand‚ there are many possible outcomes which range from zero to infinity. If the PED value is between zero and one‚ then elasticity is said to be “Inelastic”‚ meaning there would be less

Task 1 1. Let’s find supply curve for a single firm assuming that the firm operates to maximize its profits. In this case the firm will produce the quantity at which its marginal cost (MC) equals the market price (P) (P>AVC). MC=8Q=P or Q=P/8 2. Since all 10 firms are identical‚ the industry supply curve will be: Q=10(P/8)=5P/4 3. To find the short-run equilibrium price equate the industry supply with the demand: 5P/4=300-P 5P=1200-4P 9P=1200 P=1200/9=133‚(3)≈133 So‚ the short-run
