elasticity of demand (PED) is the responsiveness of quantity demanded in relation to the price. Normally as price increases for an elastic good the quantity demanded will fall. This is affected by how many close substitutes there are for the good and if the good is a luxury good (jewelry) or a necessary good (food). If the price of a certain type of cheese increases‚ less will be demanded because there are many substitutes available such as other brands of cheese. The inelasticity of demand is applicable

in the law of supply and demand. The actual concept is a little confusing to me‚ what I get from the concept is that we use elasticity when we want to see how one thing changes when we change something else. How does demand for a good change when we change its price? How does the demand for a good change when the price of a substitute good changes? Price Elasticity of Demand measures the rate of response of quantity demanded due to a price change. The Price Elasticity of Supply measures the

the marketplace fluctuations in the supply and demand affect the price of the gasoline and everyone can see the result of that volatility at the pump as the gas price fluctuates accordingly. When demand for the gas is high retailers raise prices and when demand is low – the prices are driven down. As an example‚ one can observe that when in need for gas the intersection that has several gas stations would have the same or similar pricing for gas because the supply is high and the prices are contained
