When the price of a product is increased 10 percent the quantity demanded decreases 20 percent?
Well, if the percent change in the quantity demanded is greater than the percent change in the price, economists label the demand for the good as elastic. For example, if the price of a good increases by 10 percent and the quantity demanded of that good decreases by 20 percent, that good is said to have elastic demand.
When the price of a product is raised by 10 percent the quantity demanded?
a 10 percent increase in price will result in a 10 percent decrease in the quantity demanded.
How do we calculate price elasticity of demand?
How to Calculate Price Elasticity. To calculate price elasticity, divide the change in demand (or supply) for a product, service, resource, or commodity by its change in price.
What happens to price elasticity of demand as the price of a good increases along a linear demand curve?
On a linear demand curve, such as the one in Figure 5.2 “Price Elasticities of Demand for a Linear Demand Curve”, elasticity becomes smaller (in absolute value) as we travel downward and to the right. The price elasticity of demand varies between different pairs of points along a linear demand curve.
