Everyday there is a change in prices of a good due to economic changes. The outcome of any situation determines the price of a good. There are three types of elasticity of demand that each good has‚ which are elastic‚ a situation in which the supply and demand for a good or service can vary significantly due to the price (Elastic Definition‚ 2012); unitary elastic‚ a situation where a change in one factor causes an equal or proportional change in another factor (Unitary Elasticity‚ 2012); and inelastic‚

Use of Price Elasticity & Income Elasticity of Demand for Businesses Price elasticity of demand and income elasticity are two important ideas in practical business activities. Price elasticity‚ which is represented by PED‚ measures the changes of one product’s demand in response to a changing in its price. We can write an equation in this way: Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded of the product / percentage changes in price of the product. This is abbreviated

Kellenberger AGEC 700 Problem Set #3 2) The demand curve for a product is given by Qdx = 1‚200-3Px- .01Pz‚ where Pz = $300. a) What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = $140? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? What would happen to the firm’s revenue if it decided to charge a price below $140? At the given prices‚ quantity demanded is 750 units: Qdx = 1‚200- (3 *140) -.1 (300) = 750. -140/750=-.56; demand is inelastic at this price point and you would be decreasing total revenue

(NSU) will affect the total revenue of NSU we will need to look at the price elasticity of demand to see whether an increase in the tuition fee would cause a total revenue increase or decrease. This is dependent on whether the demand is elasticity demand or inelastic demand. To better understand how this works allow me to explain the term elasticity. According to Amacher & Pate‚ Microeconomics Principles and Policies‚ “Elasticity measures the way one variable responds to changes in other variables”
