Expert Solution
Step 1

Choose a product. Describe the elasticity of demand for your product.

Answer: The Apple or iPhone

The price of iPhones has little effect on demand. The tremendous level of brand loyalty that Apple has been able to develop is the reason behind this. People are unwilling to switch to other brands, even if the price of an iPhone increases. Because of how well-known the Apple brand is, many customers are willing to pay more for Apple goods. Many people will keep purchasing Apple iPhones even if the price goes up.
