First section: Information Price elasticity of demand Elasticity is a term widely used in economics to denote the “responsiveness of one variable to changes in another.” In proper words‚ it is the relative response of one variable to changes in another variable. The phrase “relative response” is best interpreted as the percentage change. Price elasticity of demand (PED or Ed) is a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness‚ or elasticity‚ of the quantity demanded of a good or service

change in price. 2. Explain what it means for demand to be price inelastic‚ unit price elastic‚ price elastic‚ perfectly price inelastic‚ and perfectly price elastic. Demand is price inelastic if the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is less than 1; it is unit price elastic if the absolute value is equal to 1; and it is price elastic if the absolute value is greater than 1. Perfectly elastic is when price elasticity of demand is infinite. Perfectly inelastic is when price elasticity

(28 cm) (58 cm) from the waist. STEP 2. Make the elastic waistband‚ cut a piece of ½ inches (1.27 cm) elastic about 4 inches (10 cm) shorter than the waist measured. Sew the ends of the elastic together with a sewing machine. Use a variety of stitches to sew over the area 2 or 3 times to ensure the elastic will not come apart. The end result will be a wide elastic circle. Have the person who will wear the tutu skirt try on the elastic and make sure it is tight enough around the waist.
