point method
Is negatively sloped linear curve
1) Point elasticity is measured by the ratio of the lower segment of the curve below the given point to uppa segment the super part of the curve above the point. 2) Arc elasticity is measured by the use of mid point between the old & the new figures in the case of both prine and qualitiy demonded.
The Income Elasticity of Demand is used to measure how an increase or decrease in the income of consumers affects the demand for a particular product. This relationship varies depending on the type of goods.
Margarine has a measured IED of -0.37.
Demand can be defined as the quantity of goods and services that a consumer is willing and ready to buy and at given price and at a particular period of time. Cross demand can be explain by using the knowledge of cross elasticity of demand. Hence cross demand is the same as cross elesticity of demand. Cross elasticity of demand measured the degree of responsiveness of the demand for one good due to a price change of another good. Complements goods are denoted by negative cross elasticity while substitude goods are denoted by positive elasticity. Cross demand is measured as the percentage change in demand for the first good that occurs in response to a percentage change in price of the second good. Take for instance, if, in response to a 5% increase in the price of Kerosine, the demand of new stove that are kerosine inefficient decreased by 10%, the cross elasticity of demand would be: -10% divided by 5% equal to -1

show how the price elasticity of demand is graphically measured along a liner demand curve?

Expectations of the future price
According to this method the degree of elasticity of demand is measured by comparing firm's revenue from consumer's total outlay on the goods before the change in the price with after the change in the price.
Unitary elasticity is when the price elasticity of demand is exactly equal to one.
distinguish between price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand
