Introduction
·
Price Elasticity is the percentage change in the quantity
demanded due to certain percentage
change in price
·
The mathematical expression o of price
elasticity can be
o
Price Elasticity = %
change in the quantity demanded / % change
in price
o
Symbolically, it can be expressed as
·
The best example can be
o
Suppose that the price of a commodity falls
down from Rs 10 to Rs 9 per unit
o
& due to this the quantity demanded of
the commodity increased from 100 units to 120 units
o Hence the Price Elasticity will be
Types
of Price Elasticity
·
Perfectly Elastic (quantity demanded
increases infinitely with a small fall in price)
·
Perfectly Inelastic (demand remains constant
whatever may be the price)
·
Relatively Elastic (percentage change in
demand is greater than the percentage change in price)
·
Relatively Inelastic (percentage change in
quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in price)
·
Unitary Elastic (percentage change in
quantity demanded is equal to the percentage change in price)
