Question
Chapter 6, Problem 1QE
To determine
Determine whether the demand is elastic or inelastic.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The
Since the change in price is 10% and the change in quantity supplied is 20%, the price elasticity of demand can be calculated using Equation 1 as follows:
Thus, the price elasticity of demand is 2%.
The percentage change in quantity demand is higher than the percentage change in price, that is, the price elasticity is greater than one and then by definition, demand is elastic.
Economics Concept Introduction
