*all the parentheses with letters or words are indicating a subscript of that word or letter. d:demand; s:supply. *also at the bottom they have asteroids that is just something that he said in class that would be on the test or not be on the test! Percentage change in price: this tells us exactly how quantity demanded responds to a change in price, elasticity is independent of units, price elasticity of demand is always expressed as a positive number, ex. Price rises 10% and quantity demanded falls by. Like absolute value positive answers: unit change example, computer cost- pencil cost- , sales- 10 sales- 10,000. Raise the price by sales drop by one unit: computer cost- ,001 pencil cost- , sales-9 sales- 9,999. ,000 x 10= 10,000 x 10,000= 10,000. ,001 x 9= 9,009 x 9,999= 19,998. Q(2)-q(1: e(d)= % change of q = (q(1)+q(2)

Discussion #1

The law of demand states that a fall in the price of a good raises the quantity demanded, and the increase in price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded. The price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded to a change in price. Demand for a good is said to be elastic if the quantity demanded responds substantially to changes in the price, and the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price. Demand is said to be inelastic if the quantity demanded responds only slightly to changes in the price, which indicates that the percentage in price is greater than the percentage in quantity demanded.

However, the extent of responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price depends on the nature of a particular good or service in the market. The price elasticity of demand partly depends on the availability of close substitutes. When a large number of substitutes are available, consumers respond to a higher price of a good by buying more of the substitute goods and less of the relatively more expensive good. In addition, goods or services that are considered necessities tend to have less elastic (more inelastic) demand, whereas goods or services that are considered luxuries have more elastic (less inelastic) demands.

Explain why the demand for the good or service provided by the organization you work for is elastic or inelastic. How does this influence pricing decisions?
Provide examples on how the availability of close substitutes affects price elasticity of demand.
Give specific examples of necessities or luxuries, and explain how they affect price elasticity of goods or services.
