Having a high price elasticity on a demand means that if there's a price change, the amount demanded will dramatically change. An example of a product with high elasticity is bananas. During the natural disaster in North Queensland, Australia, most of the banana crops were destroyed, and because of the supply going down, price went up. In response to this up-rise in price, demand for bananas dramatically decreased. Meaning it's a highly elastic product.
demand goes down
distinguish between price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand
The greater will be the price elasticity of demand.
If the cost of supply falls for each unit of supply (a shift of the supply curve right), the change in price depends on the price elasticity of demand: Price is unchanged when price elasticity of demand is infinite. Price falls when price elasticity of demand is less than infinite.

Unitary elasticity is when the price elasticity of demand is exactly equal to one.
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsivenss of demand for a product to a change in the price of another good.
In economics , the cross elasticity of demand and cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demand of a good to a change in the price of another good.
role of price elasticity of demand in managerial decisions
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 positively correlated with the existence of substitute goods.
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsivenss of demand for a product to a change in the price of another good.
