Being counter intuitive means that such good doesn't exist ? Cos the professor said to find one so I thought there was one. Thank you for your answer
when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
A good's demand is considered perfectly inelastic when that good's demand does not change, no matter the price set. No matter how big or small the price change is. I would pay any price for air.
In a market with perfectly inelastic supply, the price of a good will not change when there is a decrease in demand for that 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.

Yes. A monopolist would tend to charge a price closer to fair market value when the demand for a good is elastic. If not demand would be affected. With a monopoly controlled inelastic good the consumer has no recourse and there for would be and the mercy of the supplier.
Demand for a good can be elastic at a low price but inelastic at a high price. YouRE VERY WULCOM novanet ANSWER =)
inelastic
Production itself cannot have inelastic demand, only supply. I will look at both cases. The demand for rice as a good is very inelastic. This is because people will buy rice no matter the price, because in many places of the world, it is their main source of food. Recently rice as skyrocketed in price (resulting in riots in places), but people still buy it. This is mainly out of necessity, but alternatives are emerging. The elasticity of supply is also inelastic, as we are looking at a huge rise in prices, but a very small change in production.
Would someone answer my question please I need it due Monday :S Inelastic supply ensures a predictable level of supply and also a static cost price. Elastic demand would mean that you need to careful in planning your supply pipeline. if you order too much you may end up selling at or below cost or at lower than budgeted margins. Generally in a globalised open market these 2 conditions cannot exist for long. They are counter intuitive
