the production of the other good

Price Elasticity of Demand:
PED shows %age change in quantity demanded due to percentage change in
price of the product. It is given as
PED= percentage change in quantity demanded
----------------------------------------
Percentage change in price demanded
‘Sign of PED is always negative , due to law of demand. This shows inverse
relation in price and quantity demanded
1)Inelastic Demand (Between 0-1)
2)Elastic Demand (1-infinite)
3)Perfectly inelastic demand (Equal to 0)
4)Unit Elastic demand (Equal to 1)
5)Perfectly Elastic Demand (Equal to infinite)
