When demand is elastic, price changes significantly affect the quantity demanded. A decrease in price leads to a proportionally larger increase in quantity demanded, while an increase in price results in a proportionally larger decrease in quantity demanded. This sensitivity means that businesses must be cautious with price adjustments, as they can greatly impact total revenue. In such cases, lower prices can potentially increase overall sales and revenue, while higher prices may reduce sales and revenue.
when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
Elasticity of demand measures how much demand for a product will change if the price of that product is changed. Something highly elastic will be greatly affected by price changes (something like a hotdog for example, if a vendor raises his price then demand will drop because people can go elsewhere-demand is elastic). So management must be aware of how consumers will react to price changes. Normally, lowering the price of a good will bring in more customers if the demand for that good is elastic. If it is inelastic, then a lower price will not increase demand much.
In economics, inelastic demand means that changes in price have little impact on the quantity demanded, while elastic demand means that changes in price have a significant impact on the quantity demanded.
elastic becoz wen price of the commodity changes , it affects the demand for the commodity .. Demand for a product is sensitive to price changes .. With icrease in price , the demand decreases nd with decrease in price , demand increases ..

Price elasticity of demand is used to determine how changes in price will effect total revenue. If demand is elastic(>1) a change in price will result in the opposite change in total revenue.(+P=-TR) When demand is unit elastic(=1) a change in price wont change total revenue. If demand is inelastic a change in price will result in a change in total revenue in the same direction.(+P=+TR)
buyers do not respond much to changes in the price of the good.
Elastic goods usually have many substitutes, so changes in price will decrease demand. Inelastic goods, on the other hand, have very few substitutes, so demand isn't generally affected by price change.
Unit elastic - Describes a supply or demand curve which is perfectly responsive to changes in price. That is, the quantity supplied or demanded changes according to the same percentage as the change in price. A curve with an elasticity of 1 is unit elastic.
If a good experiences a price increase and a significant drop in demand, it indicates that the demand for that good is elastic. Inelastic demand would typically show little change in quantity demanded despite price fluctuations. Elastic demand means consumers are sensitive to price changes, leading to a considerable reduction in demand when prices rise.
Unit Elastic. The quantity demanded changes exactly 1% with every 1% change in price.
