Dividing the change in demand for the product by its change in price. e=(change in demand)%/(change in price)%
The rate of change of price and the rate of change of demand as a function of price.
You calculate the arc elasticity of a commodity by dividing the change in demand by the average price, and then dividing that answer by the change in price divided by the average demand. So you will have (change in demand/average price)/(change in price/average demand).
Demand-price elasticity.
perfectly elastic demand the quantity change by infinitely large amount proportion due to the small change in price, is called perfectly elastic demand. perfectly inelastic demand the quantity demand doesn't change at all due to the change in price is called perfectly inelastic demand. relatively elastic demand the quantity demand changes by a little more percentage than the change in price is called relatively elastic demand. relatively inelastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is less than the percentage change change in its price is called relatively inelastic demand unitary elastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is equal to the percentage change in price is called unitary elastic demand

price elasticity is the degree to which demand for a good will change relative to a change in the price of that good. Income elasticity is the degree to which demand for a good will change relative to a change in the spending power of the consumer. it is the percentage change in quantity demanded/percentage change in price.
Price elasticity of demand= percentage change in demand/percentage cgange in price 2 = % chnge in demand/10 % change in demand= 2*10 % change in demand= 20%
The price elasticity refers to the change in demand due to the change in price. The income elasticity of demand on the other hand refers to the change in demand due to the change in income.
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)
Demand
price elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of demand where by change in price of a commodity bring proportionate change in quantity demanded.
ELASTIC DEMAND - a change in price, results in a greater than proportional change in the quantity demanded ED>1.INELASTIC DEMAND - a change in price results in a less than proportional change ED
