the demand curve for a good is very unlikely to be perfectly vertical because
Price elasticity is a specific type of slope of the demand curve. A perfectly inelastic demand means that the quantity will not change with the price. This line is perfectly vertical. A perfectly elastic demand curve is horizontal and means that at any given quantity, there is only one price. Also, a slope gets steeper, demand becomes more inelastic.
yes the demand curve is perfectly inelastic and horizontal
When supply and demand are perfectly elastic/inelastic
The demand curve would be perfectly elastic.
When the demand curve is horizontal to the x axis, it is said to be elastic and therefore more responsive to changes in price. When the demand curve is vertical, it is more inelastic and consumers will be more apt to purchase a good regardless of the price.

A perfectly price-inelastic demand curve is vertical (Parallel to Y-axix) because the percentage change in quantity demanded is nil whatever the percentage change happens in price.

The demand curve would be perfectly elastic.
As price (on the horizontal) increases, demand (on the vertical) will decrease.
When the demand curve is horizontal to the x axis, it is said to be elastic and therefore more responsive to changes in price. When the demand curve is vertical, it is more inelastic and consumers will be more apt to purchase a good regardless of the price.
perfectly elastic demand function.
Demand = Price = Marginal Cost.
A perfectly inelastic supply relation would be defined as one where the quantity produced remains static under any price change. If we'd plot this curve in the familiar demand-supply framework with price being on the y-axis and quantity on the x-axis, the curve would be vertical.
Because for a perfectly competetive firm since the demand curve is perfectly elastic even a slightest price change doesnt add any further demand..so there is no change in marinal revenue also.Since revenue is demand multiplied with cost of unit..the two curves are same.
prices will fall if demand decreases and the supply is constant. the supply curve will be vertical and demand curve will be downward sloping.
