Answer:
O zero
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand is defined as the rate of change of quantity of a good demanded with change in price.
Commodities with low elasticity change a little with change in price, while those with high elasticity have a large change with change in price.
The formula for price elasticity is
Elasticity of demand = (% change in quantity demanded) ÷ (% change in price)
Assume the demand is 10 units
Elasticity of demand = ({10 - 10} ÷ 10 * 100) ÷ ({8 - 10} ÷ 10 * 100)
Elasticity of demand = (0) ÷ (-20)
Elasticity of demand = 0
Answer:
PED = 0
Explanation:
The PED or price elasticity of demand is a measure to track and determine the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the commodity. The PED is calculated using the following formula,
PED = % Change in Quantity demanded / % Change in Price
or
PED = [( Q1 - Q0 ) / Q0] / [( P1 - P0 ) / P0]
Lets assume that at price 10 the quantity demanded was also 10 and when price decreased to 8, the quantity demanded remained the same i.e. 10
So,
PED = [( 10 - 10 ) / 10] / [( 8 - 10 ) / 10]
PED = 0
Thus, the price elasticity of demand is zero.
