The subsequent price and quantity of Rift pen is 19 and 20 respectively, while its initial price and quantity demanded is 20 and 16 respectively. A.Calculate the Price Elasticity(Ep) of Demand B. Is it Elastic or inelastic?why?

Respuesta :

From the information given, the price elasticity of demand is -5% and it can be sent that it's elastic.

The percentage change in the quantity demanded will be:

= (20 - 16) / 16 × 100

= 25%

The percentage change in price will be:

= (19 - 20) / 20 × 100

= -5%

Price elasticity of demand = 25/-5 = -5

Sincere it's greater than 1, it's elastic.
