yes the demand curve is perfectly inelastic and horizontal
A perfectly elastic demand curve means that the quantity demanded changes infinitely with a change in price, while a perfectly inelastic demand curve means that the quantity demanded remains constant regardless of price changes.
A perfectly price-inelastic demand curve is vertical (Parallel to Y-axix) because the percentage change in quantity demanded is nil whatever the percentage change happens in price.
When supply and demand are perfectly elastic/inelastic
The concept of perfectly inelastic demand means that the quantity demanded does not change with price. In the context of trade, if a good has perfectly inelastic demand, consumers will not benefit as much from trade because they will still buy the same amount regardless of price changes. This limits the potential gains from trade for consumers.
An example of perfectly inelastic demand would be a life-saving drug that people will pay any price to obtain. Elastic demand is the opposite of this.
