What does PES stand for?
Price Elasticity of Supply
What does Price Elasticity of Demand
Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) measures responsiveness of demand as a result of a change of price
The formula for PED
Change in Quality Demanded / Change in price.
A local pizza restaurant lowers their price from £15 to £13.20. They notice demand increase from 100 to 150 pizzas.
calculate the PED
The answer is -4.17
Change in sales = 50%
Change in price = -12%
What determines if PED is Price Elastic?
If it is higher than 1
What determines if PED is Price Inelastic
If it is lower than 1
What determines if PED is in Unitary Price Elasticity
If it is equal to 1
If the PED of a product is -1.5 and price decreases, sales will decrease.
True or False
