Price elasticity of demand




Firstly, I explain to you what does Elasticity of demand mean. Price elasticity of demand is how many people consumes and change price.

Secondly,  i will tell you about calculate PED. It is `Percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price`.

I explain to you understanding values for price elasticity of demand.

1 If Ped = 0 it's mean that it is perficly inelastic.

2If Ped > 1 it's mean that it is elastic.

3 If Ped > ~ it's mean that it is infinity.

Price elasticity of demand is how many people consumes and change price.

Actually it is not a right definition. "PED is the responsiveess of change in demand to achange in price." This is better definition.
And you also didn't mentioned about inferior and normal good.
