When the elasticity of demand for a good is greater than one, it indicates that the demand for that good is elastic. This means that a percentage change in price will result in a larger percentage change in the quantity demanded. In practical terms, consumers are relatively sensitive to price changes, and if the price increases, the quantity demanded will decrease significantly, and vice versa. This often occurs for non-essential goods or those with readily available substitutes.
Variable
If the elasticity is greater than 1, demand is considered elastic, meaning that consumers are highly responsive to price changes. Conversely, if the elasticity equals 0, demand is perfectly inelastic, indicating that quantity demanded does not change regardless of price fluctuations. In this case, consumers will purchase the same amount no matter the price.
greater than one
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. Hope this answer helps... :)

Variable
Cross elasticity in economics, also referred to as cross-price elasticity is used to measure the changes of the demand of a certain commodity to the price changes of another good.
If the elasticity is greater than 1, demand is considered elastic, meaning that consumers are highly responsive to price changes. Conversely, if the elasticity equals 0, demand is perfectly inelastic, indicating that quantity demanded does not change regardless of price fluctuations. In this case, consumers will purchase the same amount no matter the price.

The greater will be the price elasticity of demand.
Unitary elasticity is when the price elasticity of demand is exactly equal to one.
If the elasticity is greater than 1, demand is considered elastic. This means that consumers are relatively responsive to changes in price; a small change in price leads to a proportionally larger change in the quantity demanded. Conversely, if the elasticity is less than 1, demand is inelastic, indicating that consumers are less responsive to price changes.
distinguish between price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand
These three determinants are listed here: nature of commodity -the more perishable a good,lower will its elasticity of demand,middle income groups have highly elastic demand ,goods having alternative uses have elastic demand,for eg.milk
To determine the elasticity of demand for a product or service, you can calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. If the result is greater than 1, the demand is elastic; if it is less than 1, the demand is inelastic.
