Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded/Percentage Change in Price
Percentage Change in Price = Change in Price/Original Proce * 100
a. If %change in Price is < %change in Quantity Demanded = Elastic
b. If %change in Price is = infinite change in Quantity demanded = Perfectly Elastic
c. If %change in Price is > %change in Quantity Demanded = Inelastic
d. If %change in Price is = 0 Change in Quantity Demanded = Perfectly Inelastic
e. If %change in Price is = %change in Quantity Demanded = Unit Elasticity
Total Revnue = Unit Price * Quantity Sold.
1.If Price and Total Revenue Change inversely = Elastic
2.If Price and Total Revenue Change Directly =
