There are several examples that come to mind when I think of price elasticity. Included in my list are fuel‚ cigarettes‚ electricity‚ and toilet paper. Price elasticity means that the behaviors of supply and demand are not affected when the price of that particular item rises (changes). Our local power companies experience price elasticity on the energy that we demand‚ when they continually raise prices but the amount of consumer usage is unaffected. In some parts of the country their may

Price elasticity of demand Marija managed to explain perfectly what is the price elasticity and what are the factors that affect it: availability of substitutes and time. In overall‚ it is a very scholastic presentation since Marija gives in detail how the demand of goods is changing according to the availability of substitutes‚ the fluctuation of the price of goods‚ and what impact they have on the consumers if all the other factors are being stable. Though‚ there is a point of which I would add

What is the formula for measuring price elasticity of demand? Percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price When the price elasticity coefficient is less than 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded is smaller than the change in price. When the price elasticity coefficient is equal to 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the change in price. When the price elasticity coefficient is greater than 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded
