09 Elasticity of demand is the relationship between the demands for a product with respect to its price. Generally, when the demand for a product is high, the price of the product decreases. When demand decreases, prices tend to climb. Products that exhibit the characteristics of elasticity of demand are usually cars, appliances and other luxury items. Items such as clothing, medicine and food are considered to be necessities. Essential items usually possess inelasticity of demand. When

Assignment on Elasticity of Demand. 1. Suppose the price of a particular good increases from $95 to $105. As a consequence, you decrease your purchases of the good from 21 units to 19 units. a. What is the price elasticity of demand for this good? b. Is demand for this good elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic? ___________________________ c. Interpretation of the elasticity: A one percent increase in the price of the good would be expected to result in a __________ percent decrease

1-) (Categories of Price Elasticity of Demand) For each of the following absolute values of price elasticity of demand, indicate whether demand is elastic, inelastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, or unit elastic. In addition, determine what would happen to total revenue if a firm raised its price in each elasticity range identified. a) ED = 2.5:elastic b) ED = 0.8:inelastic 2-) (Price Elasticity of Supply) Calculate the price elasticity of supply for each of the following combinations

A-Elasticity of Demand can be defined as the varying degree of demand of a service or good, with respect to its price fluctuation. In most scenarios, a drop in price can result in an increase and demand, and vice versa. Most secondary and tertiary needs will be subject to increased elasticity, however primary needs remain unchanged in most scenarios. High price elasticity indicates heavy dependency on price in determining demand. High price inelasticity is the precise opposite—when demand
