Definition of Elasticity of Demand: It is a measure of how responsive quantity is to a price change. The hlether the measure then the more responsive consumers will be to a change in price. The lower the measure then the less responsive consumers will be to a change in price. 1. The elasticity of demand is higher in the long run because consumers have MORE time to adjust. 2. An Elasticity of 1.0 of greater = elastic demand (page 110 in book) 3. An Elasticity of exactly 1.0 = unit clastic demand 4. An Elasticity of between 0 and 1.0 = inelastic demand 5. Use the Elasticity formula to calculate values of Elasticity for all the situations below. Change negatives to positives. STEP 1: The formula used to calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded is: | (QDemand(NEW) - QDemand(OLD)/ / QDemand(OLD) | STEP 2: The formula used to calculate the percentage change in price is: | [Price(NEW) - Price(OLD)] / Price(OLD) | STEP 3: (STEP 1)/(STEP 2) multicolumn(2)(|c|)( Price ) & multirow(2)(*){ Quantity Initial { STEP 1 % change in quantity demanded { STEP 2 % change in price { STEP 3 Price Elasticity of Demand Initial & New & Initial & New & & & 25 & 30 & 100 & 40 & & & 1. 40 & 70 & 120 & 90 & & & 2. 200 & 220 & 80 & 64 & & & 3. 50 & 75 & 150 & 135 & & & 4. each case identify whether you would describe it as elastic / unit elastic / inelastic 1. 2. 3. 4.

The measure being described is the **elasticity of demand**. Elasticity of demand measures how responsive the quantity demanded of a good is to a change in its price.<br /><br />1. The elasticity of demand is higher in the long run because consumers have more time to adjust their behavior and find alternatives.<br /><br />2. An elasticity of 1.0 or greater indicates elastic demand, meaning consumers are highly responsive to price changes.<br /><br />3. An elasticity of exactly 1.0 indicates unit elastic demand, meaning the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the percentage change in price.<br /><br />4. An elasticity of between 0 and 1.0 indicates inelastic demand, meaning consumers are less responsive to price changes.<br /><br />To calculate elasticity:<br /><br />STEP 1: Calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded:<br />\[ \left| \frac{QDemand(NEW) - QDemand(OLD)}{QDemand(OLD)} \right| \]<br /><br />STEP 2: Calculate the percentage change in price:<br />\[ \left| \frac{Price(NEW) - Price(OLD)}{Price(OLD)} \]<br /><br />STEP 3: Divide the result from STEP 1 by the result from STEP 2 to get the elasticity value.<br /><br />For each case, you would then identify whether the demand is elastic, unit elastic, or inelastic based on the calculated elasticity value.
