When the price of cellphone charges rises from $480 to $600 a month, the quantity demanded decreases from 204 million to 196 million subscribers. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for cellphone charges. Is the demand for elastic or inelastic? Would the demand for Flow charges be more elastic or less elastic than the demand for overall cellphone charges? Why?
