A measure of the relationship between the change in quantity demanded of a particular good and a change in its price relates to prices sensitivity. If a small change in price is accompanied by a change of quantity demanded‚ the product will be elastic. A product that is inelastic is when a large change in price is accompanied by a small change in the quantity demanded. Elasticity is sensitive to change in price‚ the degree to which demand for a good or service‚ in this case the flowers I am selling

service. When demand is elastic‚ the percentage of a price change of a product will result in a larger percentage of quantity demanded (McConnell‚ p 77). It basically means reducing the price of a good service will result in a greater quantity demanded and an increase in revenue for the seller. When demand is inelastic‚ a change in price will result in a reduction of quantity demanded‚ which will then lead to a revenue decrease (McConnell‚ p 77).

The "necessary and proper" clause was included in the Constitution to allow for an "active and powerful government."

In Japan‚ the price dropped from ¥25‚000 to ¥20‚000 and they sold more than three million Wii consoles also ending 9 months of declining sales”. This shows that that demand for Wii console is elastic as people responded to the price drop and thus they demanded more which also help Wii console to earn back their losses. Also another reason that demand is relatively elastic is that substitution

V. Analysis and Conclusion In this experiment we studied the elastic properties of the spring‚ the Hooke’s Law and the total work done on the spring when it is being stretch. Also‚ this experiment tackles the elasticity and deformation of a material that obeys the Hooke’s Law which states that “Within the elastic limit of a body‚ the deforming force is directly proportional to the elongation of the body.” Our experiment is to determine the force constant of the spring. The calculations used throughout

quantity of a good demanded to changes in its price. Demand is price inelastic when PED1 (but less than infinity).If a product has elastic demand‚ then a change in the price of the product leads to a greater than proportional change in the quantity demanded of it. When demand is inelastic‚ most of the tax incidence (tax burden) is on consumers;when demand is elastic‚most of the incidence is on producers. If a government puts a tax on a product‚ then its price will usually rise. This means that

These circumstances measures consumers reaction and how they respond to the changes in price by changing the quantity demanded.
