1.2.4 Price Elasticity of Demand (1/2) Flashcards
Price Elasticity of demand
The relationship that exists between the responsiveness of demand and a change in price
Price elastic demand
A change in price causes a big change of demand
Either increased or decrease
Demand for ELASTIC products are SENSITIVE in relation to price changes T/F?
True
Price inelastic
A change in price results in a relatively small change of demand.
Demand for INELASTIC products are SENSITIVE in relation to price changes T/F?
False
How do you determine whether a product is price elastic or inelastic?
Look at the numerical values
Numerical value for price elastic
Any number greater than 1
More than 1 = Prince elastic
Numerical value for prince inelastic
Any number less than 1
Less than 1 = Price inelastic
