Different degrees of elasticity of demand?
Perfectly elastic demand. Relative elastic demand. Unit elasticity of demand. Relative inelastic demand. Perfectly inelastic demand.
Demand and its types?
Perfectly inelastic demand, perfectly elastic demand, elastic demand, inelastic demand etc.
What is the Four determinants of price elasticity of demand?
perfectly elastic demand the quantity change by infinitely large amount proportion due to the small change in price, is called perfectly elastic demand. perfectly inelastic demand the quantity demand doesn't change at all due to the change in price is called perfectly inelastic demand. relatively elastic demand the quantity demand changes by a little more percentage than the change in price is called relatively elastic demand. relatively inelastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is less than the percentage change change in its price is called relatively inelastic demand unitary elastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is equal to the percentage change in price is called unitary elastic demand
Is price elasticity of demand considered elastic or inelastic with food?
price elasticity of food would be inelastic, as there are no substitutes and food is a necessity.
When the price of a good will cause total revenue to fall if price elasticity of demand is elastic or inelastic?
when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.

Is price elasticity of demand considered elastic or inelastic with food?
price elasticity of food would be inelastic, as there are no substitutes and food is a necessity.
What are the types of price elasticity of demand?
there are five types.1).perfect elastic demand,2)perfect inelastic demand,3).relatively elastic demand,4).relatively inelastic demand4).unity elastic demand
When the price of a good will cause total revenue to fall if price elasticity of demand is elastic or inelastic?
when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
Explain the difference between price elasticity of demand and the slope of a demand curve?
Price elasticity is a specific type of slope of the demand curve. A perfectly inelastic demand means that the quantity will not change with the price. This line is perfectly vertical. A perfectly elastic demand curve is horizontal and means that at any given quantity, there is only one price. Also, a slope gets steeper, demand becomes more inelastic.
What are different types of elasticity's of demand?
What are the different types elasticity What are the different types elasticity + types of elasticity of demand + ELASTIC DEMAND - a change in price, results in a greater than proportional change in the quantity demanded ED>1. INELASTIC DEMAND - a change in price results in a less than proportional change ED<1. UNITARY DEMAND - a change in price results in n equal proportional change ED=1. PERFECTLY ELASTIC DEMAND - demand changes even when price remains unchanged. PERFECTLY INELASTIC DEMAND - change in price does not result in any change.
When a firm's marginal revenue is zero what can be said about the elasticity of demand for the output of the firm A. Demand is inelastic. B. Demand is elastic. C. Demand is unit elastic.?
Demand is unit elastic.
Explain what is meant by Price Elasticity of Demand?
there are broadly classified into five types 1. Perfect price elasticity of demand 2. Perfect price in-elasticity of demand 3. Relative price elasticity of demand 4. Relative price in-elasticity of demand 5. Unity price elasticity of demand
Why is it difficult to judge elasticity of demand or supply if you are merely observing the appearance of a demand or supply curve on a graph?
Because it is basically curved shape, therefore, there are points/areas on the curve where the demand or supply will be elastic and on some other parts be inelastic. At the top of the curve, demand/supply tends to be inelastic and at the bottom of the curve, it tends to be elastic. Obviously, the more you go up the more we reach the perfectly inelastic demand/supply and the further you go down the curve, the more you reach the perfectly elastic demand/supply
Using the concept of elasticity explain how a tax on gasoline would affect firms and consumers Who would pay the larger burden of the tax?
First, a quick discussion on elasticity of demand:When demand for an item is perfectly elastic, as prices increase the demand for the item decreasesWhen demand for an item is perfectly inelastic as prices increase the demand for the item does not changeIn the real world, few items are perfectly elastic or perfectly inelastic. Gasoline is an interesting item when it comes to elasticity. Gas is nearly perfectly inelastic at some levels of consumption because most people need to use it to get to work. This is starting to change however because as technology develops alternative fuels gas may become much more elastic. At some levels of consumption gas becomes elastic, for example if prices are too high some people will choose to skip a vacation soas not to consume gas.Now to explain elasticity of demand and taxes:When demand is perfectly inelastic, all of the tax will be passed on to the consumer.When demand is perfectly elastic, all of the tax will be passed on to the to the producer.So now to answer the question as to who would pay the larger burden of the tax. Right now (11/2009) gasoline is much more inelastic than it normally is (although it usually is still quite inelastic). For this reason, the majority of the tax on gasoline will be paid by the consumer.
