Unitary elastic: price increases

A

Qd decreases TR no change

19

Unitary elastic: price decreases

A

Qd increases TR no change

20
Q

availability and closeness of substitues for the good

A

greater number and closer substitues, higher PED

21
Q

time available to adjust to changes in price

A

more time available: higher PED

22
Q

long run

A

time sufficient to fully adjust to a change of price

23
Q

short run

A

any time shorter than long run

24
Q

necessity or luxury?

A

more necessity of good, lower PED

25
Q

addictive/habit-forming?

A

more addictive good, lower PED

26
Q

proportion of income spent

A

greater proportion of income spent on good, higher PED

27
Q

perfect elasticity of demand

A

Ed = undefined a lot is available at this price so consumers not willing to pay more and foolish for producers to charge less

28
Q

perfect inelasticity of demand

A

Ed = 0 consumers only buy a fixed amount of good, does not vary with price

29
Q

perfect unitary elasticity of demand

A

P x Q = k (constant) shape of curve is rectilinear hyperbola
