1. Number of Substitute Products - the greater the number of substitute products, the greater is its own price elasticity of demand.
2. Price of Product Relative to consumers income - the greater the price of product relative to consumers income the greater is it Price Elasticity.
3. Nature of Goods - whether it is luxury good or necessity goods.
4. Passage of Time - the longer the time lapsed the greater Price Elasticity.

What is the determinants of price elasticity of demand?
the major determinants of price elasticity of demand Use own your own help and VU handouts, and listen to VU lecture carefully
Meaning of elasticity?
It measures the sensitivity of one variable with respect to another, e.g. own price elasticity of demand measures the sensitivity of demand for a commodity with respect to its own price.
Are cross price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of demand same?
No, cross price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of demand are not the same. Price elasticity of demand measures how the quantity demanded of a good responds to changes in its own price, while cross price elasticity of demand measures how the quantity demanded of one good responds to changes in the price of another good. The former focuses on a single product, while the latter examines the relationship between two different products, indicating whether they are substitutes or complements.
Explain elasticity of demand in your own words?
It could mean quite a few things. There is Income Elasticity of Demand, Price Elasticity of Demand. etc. Price Elasticity of Demand is the most popular, and is what people generally are referring to when they make incomplete statements like this. Price elasticity of demand, according to my understanding is the percentage change in demand due to a percentage change in price (or the prefix to the "elasticity of demand" statement). Caution must be taken however in determining this percentage change as the base value in the computation may, and usually is the average price of the good prior to the change, and not just the last price before the change. Ask your examiner what the requirements are, before you answer the question.
How is elasticity of supply related to elasticity of demand?
Elasticity of supply refers to the responsiveness of guantity supplied of a commodity to changes in its own price. And the formulafor measuring elasticity of supply percentagechange in quantity supplied/ %change in price

How income elasticity own price and cross price elasticity are related?
According to the total expenditure method; Ep<1 Price of X increases then the expenditure on X increases. Thus the expenditure and demand on Y decreases. Cross price elasticity of X and Y i s negative, therefore they are compliments. Now Taking Ep>1...we can find out the relation of substitutes. Threfore own price and cross price elasticity is not totally independent of one another.
If the own price elasticity of demand for paper book is -2 how will a 4 percent decrease in the price of paper book affect your overall revenues from both paper books and ebooks sales?
If the own price elasticity of demand for paper books is -2, a 4% decrease in the price is expected to increase the quantity demanded by 8%. However, since demand for ebooks is not affected by the price change in paper books, the overall increase in revenue will depend on the relative price elasticities of demand for paper books and ebooks. If the cross-price elasticity between paper books and ebooks is positive, the overall revenue could increase as the increase in paper book sales may positively impact ebook sales.
Why do economists pay little attention to the algebraic sign of the elasticity of demand for a good with respect to its own price yet pay careful attention to the algebraic sign of the elasticity of d?
Economists often focus less on the algebraic sign of the price elasticity of demand for a good because it is inherently negative due to the law of demand: as price decreases, quantity demanded increases, and vice versa. Instead, they pay close attention to the elasticity of demand with respect to other factors (like income or prices of related goods) because the sign indicates the nature of the relationship—whether it is complementary or substitutive, for example. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing market behavior and consumer choice.
What is the most important determinant of price elasticity of demand?
The price elasticity of demand measures how responsive the quantity demanded of a good is to a change in its price. The value illustrates if the good is relatively elastic (PED is greater than 1) or relatively inelastic (PED is less than 1). A good's PED is determined by numerous factors, these include:Number of substitutes: the larger the number of close substitutes for the good then the easier the household can shift to alternative goods if the price increases. Generally, the larger the number of close substitutes, the more elastic the price elasticity of demand.Degree of necessity: If the good is a necessity item then the demand is unlikely to change for a given change in price. This implies that necessity goods have inelastic price elasticities of demand.Price of the good as a proportion of income: It can be argued that goods that account for a large proportion of disposable income tend to be elastic. This is due to consumers being more aware of small changes in price of expensive goods compared to small changes in the price of inexpensive goods.The following example illustrates how to determine the price elasticity of demand for a good. The price elasticity of demand for supermarket own produced strawberry jam is likely to be elastic. This is because there are a very large number of close substitutes (both in jams and other preserves), and the good is not a necessity item. Therefore, consumers can and will easily respond to a change in price.
What are the Factors of determing price elastic of demand?
Factors affecting demand include the good's own price, the price of related goods, personal disposable income, consumer tastes and preferences, consumer expectations about future prices and income, and the nature of the good.All of these factors work together to determine the buyer's demand curve.The market demand curve is the horizontal sum of individual buyers' demand curves. Aggregation introduces three additional non-price determinants of demand: the number of consumers; the distribution of tastes among the consumers; and the distribution of incomes among consumers of different tastes.Factors that affect individual demand can also affect market demand, but net effects must also be considered.
When do you move along demand curve?
the good's own price is changing.
What is the price of zucchini?
I grow my own so they come free. However, the point is that there is no fixed price for a zucchini, the price will be determined by the forces of supply and demand.
