When the price elasticity of demand is 2.0 then the demand is?
The price elasticity gives the percentage change in quantity demanded when there is a one percent increase in price, holding everything else constant. If the elasticity is −2, that means a one percent price rise leads to a two percent decline in quantity demanded.
What is the price elasticity of demand if a 2 percent change in price leads to 4 percent change in quantity demanded of a good?
Answer and Explanation: If a 2% price rise results in a 4% decrease in quantity demanded, then (c) demand is elastic, and its total revenue decreases. When a product experiences a drastic change in the demand with a minimal price change, the demand for the product is said to be elastic.
What is price elasticity of demand if a 2% increase in price results in a 6 decrease in quantity demanded?
Suppose that a 2% increase in price results in a 6% decrease in quantity demanded. Own-price elasticity of demand is equal to: a) 1/3.
What happens to elasticity when demand decreases?
As we move down the demand curve, equal changes in quantity represent smaller and smaller percentage changes, whereas equal changes in price represent larger and larger percentage changes, and the absolute value of the elasticity measure declines.
