State the factors affecting the price elasticity of demand? The type of product will affect the price elasticity of demand i.e. a necessity such as petrol will have a inelastic demand as it is a must have for consumers so a change in price will cause only a minor change in price whereas if a product is not a necessity for consumers it will have an elastic demand meaning a small change in price could lead to a greater change in quantity demanded The proportion of the consumers income spent on a product

One definition of elasticity is what happens to consumer demand for a good when prices increase. As the price of a good rises‚ consumers will usually demand a lower quantity of that good‚ perhaps by consuming less‚ substituting other goods‚ and so on and the demand of complementary product will also be less. The greater the extent to which demand falls as price rises‚ the greater the price elasticity of demand. Conversely‚ as the price of a good falls‚ consumers will usually demand a greater quantity

ELASTICITY It shows the degree of responsiveness of the change in the one variable due to the change in the quantity of the other variable. Elasticity = Percentage change in the one variable Percentage change in the other variable It is simply a way of quantifying cause of and effect relationship. The concept of elasticity can be used in demand and supply. ELASTICITY OF DEMAND We can study the elasticity of demand under the following categories. Price elasticity

9 – Elasticity and Demand Demand and Elasticity Elasticity is a way to measure the responsiveness of a dependent variable to changes in an independent variable. Elasticity is defined as a ratio of the percentage change in a dependent variable to a percentage change in an independent variable. Elasticity ≡ percentage change of dependent variable Percentage change of independent variable When: Y = f(X) %ΔY E ≡ %ΔX Fal l ’05 © Reynolds 2005 Microeconomics Slide 1 Chapter 9 – Elasticity and Demand

Price elasticity of demand (PED) is defined as the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good or service to a change in its price. Price Elasticity of Demand Percentage Change in Quantity Demand for product A Percentage Change in Price for Product A So‚ Percentage Change in Quantity Demand for Product A = PED X Percentage Change in Price for Product A Given‚ PED of Books= 2‚ Percentage Change in Price for Books = 10% So‚ Percentage Change in Demand for Books = 2 X 10% = 20%

Supply: Government and Price Control (in-case kailangan) Price Control – Refers to the fixing of prices by the government. By doing so‚ it creates shortage or surplus. Price Ceiling – A maximum price at which a good can be sold. Price Floor – Minimum price buyers are required to pay for a good. Elasticity The price elasticity of demand is computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. That is‚ Price elasticity of demand=ED= Percentage
