change in its price. If a relatively small change in price leads to a relatively large change in demand‚ the product is said to be ’elastic’. Whereas if quantity demanded is relatively unresponsive to a change in price the product is said to be ’inelastic’. Price elasticity of demand can be given a numerical value which is just a number and not in terms of any particular unit. The resulting numerical figure will always be a negative number due to the inverse relationship between price and quantity

in price from P to P1 and a decrease in quantity from Q to Q1. The tax is indicated on the graph as the difference between S and S1. However‚ the effectiveness of this tax depends on the price elasticity of demand for the product. If the PED is inelastic‚ consumers will be unresponsive to a change in price‚ so producers may pass on most of the tax burden to consumers‚ who will continue to buy the product. The tax set by the government must be equal to the size of the external costs associated with

elasticities of demand. The elasticity of demand shows the buyers’ response to change of quantity‚ due to the change in price. This is needed in order for the seller to know where to place the market price to maximize profit. If the buyers’ demand is more inelastic‚ the seller will charge more due to the fact those buyers have a lower response in change of quantity when

quantity demanded by the proportionate change in price. When PED is greater than one (PED > 1) demand is said to be elastic When PED is between zero to one (0 > PED > 1) demand in said to be inelastic When PED is equal to one (PED > 1) demand is said to be unit-elastic (unitary elasticity) A perfectly inelastic demand curve‚ perpendicular to the X-axis‚ has zero elasticity. A perfectly elastic demand curve‚ horizontal to X axis‚ is infinitely elastic. The price elasticity of demand for a particular

more than 1‚ and would therefore be considered elastic. If the ratio were greater than 1‚ that product would then be considered inelastic‚ as the percentage change in demand was less than that of the percentage change in price. For example‚ if a product were to increase in price by 10%‚ and the overall demand fell by only 5%‚ then the good would be considered inelastic. If a 10% rise in price caused a 20% fall in demand that same good is elastic (McConnell & Brue‚ 2004). Since Apple released the

methods are price discrimination‚ value-based pricing and cost-plus pricing. Elastic vs. Inelastic Goods * Economists can determine price sensitivity of products through a price elasticity analysis. Some products‚ such as milk‚ are consider a necessity rather than a luxury and will purchase at most price points. This type of product is considered inelastic. When a business knows they are selling an inelastic good‚ they can make marketing and pricing decisions easier. Operations and Production
