If the % change in quantity demanded is less than the % change in price it has a minor effect. In this case demand is not very responsive to a change in price. It is called inelastic! Mr Jon Link told me! :)
When a price increase has little or no effect on the demand for a product, it is inelastic.
for elasticity less than one the demand will be inelastic, i.e there will be very less effect of price on the demand.It will be relative inelastic or inelastic.
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.

A verticle demand curve, where a change in price does not effect quantity.

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)
the demand for cold drink as whole is inelastic bcoz the price wont have much effect on its demandbt price for coca cola is elastic because if pric of coca cola will increase then its substitute pepsi is available
The effect of a price change on total revenue depends on the price elasticity of demand for a product. If demand is elastic, a decrease in price will lead to a proportionally larger increase in quantity sold, resulting in higher total revenue. Conversely, if demand is inelastic, a price decrease will result in a smaller increase in quantity sold, leading to lower total revenue. Therefore, understanding the elasticity of demand is crucial for predicting how a price change will affect total revenue.
Elastic demand occurs when a small change in price leads to a significant change in the quantity demanded. This is typically indicated by a price elasticity of demand (PED) value greater than 1. For example, luxury goods or non-essential items often exhibit elastic demand, as consumers can easily forego or substitute these products if prices rise. Conversely, necessities tend to have inelastic demand, where changes in price have little effect on the quantity demanded.
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.
