Unitary elastic is a demand whose elasticity is exactly equal to 1.
It means it is Unitary elastic.
Unitary is a reference to the type of demand elasticity. Unitary demand elasticity occurs when the elasticity of demand = 1. This indicates that the level of demand changes in-sync with the price at a 1:1 ratio.
Unitary elasticity is when the price elasticity of demand is exactly equal to one.
