1) a. When the price elasticity of demand is greater than one, demand is defined to be elastic.

b. When the price elasticity of demand is less than one, the demand is defined to be inelastic.

c. When the price elasticity of demand is equal to one, the demand is said to have unit elasticity.

2) In general, the flatter the demand curve that passes through a given point, the more elastic the demand.
Extreme Cases

3) a. When the price elasticity of demand is equal to zero, the demand is perfectly inelastic and is a vertical line.

b. When the price elasticity of demand is infinite, the demand is perfectly elastic and is a horizontal line.

When demand is elastic How does the percentage change in quantity demanded compare to the percentage change in price?

The price elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. If the quotient is greater than or equal to one, the demand is considered to be elastic. If the value is less than one, demand is considered inelastic.

When demand is unit elastic the percentage change in quantity demanded is the percentage change in price quizlet?

Demand is unit elastic when the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the percentage change in price, so the price elasticity is equal to one an absolute value. An increase or decrease in price does not affect revenue.

When the percentage change in quantity demanded is the same as the percentage change in price demand is said to have unitary elasticity?

If the change in quantity purchased is the same as the price change (say, 10% ÷ 10% = 1), then the product is said to have unit (or unitary) price elasticity. Finally, if the quantity purchased changes less than the price (say, -5% demanded for a +10% change in price), then the product is deemed inelastic.

When a product has elastic demand the percentage change in price?

If the elasticity is −2, that means a one percent price rise leads to a two percent decline in quantity demanded. Other elasticities measure how the quantity demanded changes with other variables (e.g. the income elasticity of demand for consumer income changes). Price elasticities are negative except in special cases.
