Demand is inelastic when changes the in price of a commodity do not effect (or have very little effect) the quantity of that product demanded. For most commodities, demand decreases with price increases and demand increases with price decreases.

Draw a demand curve illustrating price inelastic demand and explain how the curve relates to the definition of price elasticity of demand?

A perfectly inelastic demand curve will be completely horizontal and means that consumers would any price for a particular good, which is almost impossible. The closer to being horizontal a demand curve is, the more inelastic the 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.


Inelastic demand curve?

Inelastic demand means a situation in which the demand for a product does not increase or decrease correspondingly with a fall or rise in its price. From the supplier's viewpoint, this is a highly desirable situation because price and total revenue are directly related; an increase in price increases total revenue despite a fall in the quantity demanded. An example of a product with inelastic demand is gasoline. Refer to link below.


Will a monopolist charge a lower price where demand is price elastic and a higher price where demand is price inelastic?

Why is the ordinary demand curve flatter than a compensated demand curve if the good is a normal good but the reverse is the case if the good is inferior?

because the ordinary demand curve ignores the income effect of price changes.also since the compensated demand curve is less inelastic than an ordinary demand curve.
