elastic:
elasticity is %change in q / %change in p
therefore when quantity responds strongly to price, then it is price elastic
perfectly inelastic
inelastic demand
Elasticity of demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good or service to changes in the price. Elastic demand means that for a change in price, the change in quantity demanded is more than proportionate. So the cheaper the price gets (say 1 unit), the quantity demanded will increase improportionately (say 2 units).
Graphically, the Y axis is price and the X axis is quantity. The demand curve slopes downward, while the supply curve slopes upward. When quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied the market is out of equilibrium. As a result, the price of goods increases, thereby decreasing the quantity demanded. This is characterized as a move up along the demand curve and not a shift. Changes in endogenous variables, ie price and quantity, are just movements along the curve.
Yes. Imagine you are in the market to buy a sports car. A $100 increase in price is not likely to affect the quantity you will demand. However, if you are in the market for bananas a $100 increase in price will definitely affect the quantity you will demand.
The responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in the price of a good
perfectly inelastic
inelastic demand
It is a movement from one point to another point or one price quantity combination to another point on a fixed demand curve.
Elasticity of demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good or service to changes in the price. Elastic demand means that for a change in price, the change in quantity demanded is more than proportionate. So the cheaper the price gets (say 1 unit), the quantity demanded will increase improportionately (say 2 units).
Unit elastic demand is a type of elasticity when there is a change in the price say from 5 $ to 6 $ , there will be a change in quantity demanded from 6 to 5 . That is when the price changes by one unit, the quantity demanded also changes by 1 unit. revenue remains unchanged.
Graphically, the Y axis is price and the X axis is quantity. The demand curve slopes downward, while the supply curve slopes upward. When quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied the market is out of equilibrium. As a result, the price of goods increases, thereby decreasing the quantity demanded. This is characterized as a move up along the demand curve and not a shift. Changes in endogenous variables, ie price and quantity, are just movements along the curve.

Unit Elastic. The quantity demanded changes exactly 1% with every 1% change in price.
A change(shift) in demand refers to a change in the amount of a product or service demamded in regards to changes in expectations,income,demographics,substitutes and expectations and will cause a "shift" in the demand curve. A change in quantity demanded refers to a change of the inputs(resources required to produce that good or service) required to produce the goods or services being demanded. If the price of producing the good or service changes then the quantity demamded will "change" causing a movement along the demand curve.
