How does the total revenue test indicate demand elasticity?
For any given change in the price(rise or fall), where demand is elastic there is a more than proportionate change in quantity demanded. When the price elasticity of demand for a good is elastic (|Ed| > 1), the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than that in price. Hence, when the price is raised, the total revenue of producers falls, and vice versa.
What is the definition of price elasticty of demand?
Demand elasticity is how much demand is affected based on a change in price. An elastic good is highly affected by price small chanages. Demand plummets and people substitue for something else. An inelastic good is not affected by any size change in price. Basically, elasticity is a measure of how essential a good is to people. On a supply/demand chart, demand elasticity is measured by the slope of the demand curve. Steeper curves are less elastic. Examples: Gasoline demand is fairly inelastic. Global demand for gasoline changes very little between $1.50 per gallon and $3.00. People buy almost the exact same amount at any price (in the short run). A particular brand of coffee would be fairly elastic. If Folgers and Maxwell House were both selling coffee for $4 a pound demand would be fairly equal (assuming there are no taste differences and brand loyalty). If Folgers raised their price to $4.25, pretty much everyone would buy the Maxwell House, all else being equal.
What does elasticity of demand mean?
"Elasticity of demand" is the economic term for how much of something people want. If demand is inelastic, people will buy the same amount at any price (think insulin--a diabetic needs it and so will buy it at any price.). If demand is elastic, the price greatly affects how much people will buy (concert tickets for a B-rate band: the higher the price, the less people will come). This is very generalized: the topic is very complex and confusing when explained in economic terms. Recently the demand for gas, which used to be inelastic, has become elastic. The price has raised too high for people to keep buying what they usually did, and so travel plans have been curtailed due to this and less gas has been puchased. Even more recently, gas prices have lowered again, but demand cannot yet be said to be inelastic again. Altogether, inelastic demand does not affect supply, while elastic demand does.
What products are elastic?
It depends a great deal on how widely you define the product. For example, the demand for "food" is completely inelastic, since there are no substitutes for "food". However, demand for apples will be far more elastic than the demand for food, since if the price of apples increases people can switch quite easily to a cheaper fruit. It is difficult to generalise what items are elastic, since not all items within the same group have equal "value" - brand loyalty for example will decrease elasticity for certain items. This means that, if I were to say that demand for baked beans was elastic, you could point out that Heinz baked beans experience far lower levels of price elasticity than other brands of baked beans. However, generally (very generally), unbranded/supermarket branded food items, when not defined too widely, will experience an elastic "price elasticity". Contrary to many expectations, fuel actually does seem to be price elastic - at least, to a certain level. Even though there are very few good substitutes for petrol etc... consumption does decrease when prices are raised.
What usually happens to prices when there is a demand for a product?
The price is raised.
