ELASTICITY OF   -By Suvarna
                Kamble.
     DEMAND
MEANING OF ELASTICITY OF DEMAND:

Term is used to denote a measure of the rate at which
 demand changes in response to the change in prices.
It is the percentage change in quantity demanded
 divided by the percentage in one of the variables on
 which demand depends.
It is Price elasticity of demand , which is usually
 referred to as elasticity of Demand.
TYPES OF ELASTICITY OF DEMAND:

Price elasticity
Income elasticity
Cross elasticity
Promotional elasticity
PRICE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND:

Price elasticity of Demand expresses the response of
 quantity demanded of goods to a change in its price.

Definition:
≠Elasticity of demand may be defined as the ratio of
 the percentage change in demand to the percentage
 change in price
                               -prof.Lipsey..
THUS, PRICE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND IS
THE RATIO OF PERCENTAGE CHANGE

   IN  AMOUNT   DEMANDED                       TO    A
PERCENTAGE CHANGE IN PRICE.
Price elasticity(Ep)=%change in quantity demanded
                           % change in Price
 Ep= ^Q xP = ^Q x P
    Q ^P         ^P Q
Where, Ep=price elasticity       P=Price
Q=Quantity        ^Q=Change in quantity demanded
^P=Change in Price.
TYPES/DEGREES OF DEMAND:

Perfectly Elastic Demand(E=):
  In this case the demand for a commodity changes even
 though there is no change in Price.

It implies that with a very small Percentage change in
  price , the quantity demanded would change indefinitely
  & so the seller would not change the Price.
Perfectly Inelastic Demand(E=0):
If the demand for a commodity does not change in
 spite of an increase or decrease in its Price.
Unitary Elastic Demand(E=1)
Price elasticity of demand is unity when the change in
 demand is exactly proportionate to the change in price.
Eg: The Price is Rs.10 &the quantity demanded is 100
 units &the total outlay is Rs.1000. and if price
 increases to Rs.20 & the quantity demanded declines to
 50 units , the total outlay is Rs. 1000
In this case demand curve is rectangular hyperbola.
Elastic Demand(E>1):
If the Percentage change quantity demanded is greater
 than the percentage change in price.
Price elasticity of demand is greater than one.
Eg: The Price Increases from Rs.10 to Rs.20,quantity
 demanded declines from 100 units to 40 units.as a result ,
 the total outlay declines from Rs. 1000 to Rs.800.
on the other hand, if Price declines from Rs.10
 to Rs.5 and quantity demanded increases from
 100to300 units as a result the total outlay has
 increased from Rs.1000 to Rs.1500.
In this case the price and total outlay are
 inversely related.
Inelastic demand(E<1):
If the Percentage change in quantity demanded is less
 than the percentage change in Price .
Price elasticity of demand is less than one.
Eg: when price increases from Rs.10 to Rs.20& the
 quantity declines from 100 units to 50 units , the total
 outlay increases from Rs.1000 to Rs.1500.
On the other hand if the price declines from Rs.10 to
 Rs.5 & quantity demanded increases from 100 units to
 150 units . the total outlay declines from Rs.1000 to
 Rs.750
This shows that the price and total outlay are directly
 related.
Because , the quantity demanded changes relatively
 slower than the change in price.
