The proportionate method of measuring price elasticity calculates the responsiveness of quantity demanded or supplied to changes in price by comparing the percentage change in quantity to the percentage change in price. It is expressed as the ratio of the percentage change in quantity to the percentage change in price, resulting in the price elasticity of demand or supply coefficient. This method allows for a straightforward interpretation of elasticity, where values greater than 1 indicate elastic demand, values less than 1 indicate inelastic demand, and a value of 1 indicates unitary elasticity.

What are two methods for calculating elasticity of demand?
Two common methods for calculating elasticity of demand are the percentage change method and the point elasticity method. The percentage change method involves dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. The point elasticity method, on the other hand, uses calculus to calculate elasticity at a specific point on the demand curve, typically by taking the derivative of the demand function and multiplying it by the price-quantity ratio. Both methods provide insight into how sensitive consumers are to price changes.
Is coal elastic or inelastic?
There are 2 different types price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply. If you meant to ask is demand for coal price elastic on inelastic, answer is yes, it is price inelastic. The demand for coal, is unlikely to drop much even if the price of it increases, it can be said that it is a 'necessity'. Since the quantity demanded decreases less than proportionate than the increase in price, it is said to be price inelastic.
How is price elasticity of demand measured on a particular point on a negatively sloped demand curve?
point method
How income elasticity own price and cross price elasticity are related?
According to the total expenditure method; Ep<1 Price of X increases then the expenditure on X increases. Thus the expenditure and demand on Y decreases. Cross price elasticity of X and Y i s negative, therefore they are compliments. Now Taking Ep>1...we can find out the relation of substitutes. Threfore own price and cross price elasticity is not totally independent of one another.

How is elasticity of supply related to elasticity of demand?
Elasticity of supply refers to the responsiveness of guantity supplied of a commodity to changes in its own price. And the formulafor measuring elasticity of supply percentagechange in quantity supplied/ %change in price
Why does unitary elastic demand curve is a rectangular hyperbola?
we know from total expenditure method of measuring elasticity of demand that if total expenditure remains the same when price changes, elasticity is unitary. rectangular hyperbola is a curve under which all rectangular areas are equal. also, each rectangular area shows total expenditure on the commodity. along the curve, even if price changes, total expenditure remains the same, so rectangular hyperbola shows the elasticity of 1.
