HOW MUCH MORE OR LESS?
THE LAW OF DEMAND SAYS...
PRICE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND
Consumers will buy more when prices go down and less when prices go up
Price Elasticity Provides an Answer

The Price-Elasticity Coefficient and Formula
PRICE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND
Ed =
Percentage change in quantitydemanded of product X
Percentage change in priceof product X
Or equivalently…
Ed =Change in quantity demanded of X
Original quantity demanded of X
Change in price of X Original price of X

You sell 24 glasses for $.50 each.
P x Q = Total Revenue (TR)
$.50 x 24 = $12 = Total Revenue
-$4 = Total Cost

TOTAL REVENUE TESTAnother way to determine elasticity• P x Q = TR• P and Q move opposite each other• So how do we know what happens
to TR?– If P and TR move together demand is
inelastic– If Q and TR move together demand is
elastic– If TR doesn’t move demand is unit
elastic

CASE STUDY: Lines at the Gas Pump
• In the early 1970s the government placed a price ceiling on gas.
• In 1973, OPEC raised the price of crude oil (input for gas).
