14 Elasticity Summary (briefly describe the main concepts, major points)

15 This does not mean that the demand for an individual producer is inelastic. For example, a rise in the price of gasoline at all stations may not reduce gasoline sales significantly. However, a rise of an individual station s price will significantly affect that station s sales. Unitary Elasticity If the elasticity coefficient is equal to one, demand Elasticity is unitarily elastic of demand as shown is an in important Figure 3. variation For example, on the a 10% concept quantity of demand. change divided Demand by can 10% be price change classified is one. as This elastic, means inelastic that a one or unitary. percent change in quantity occurs for every one percent change in An elastic price. demand is one in which the change in quantity demanded due to a change in price is large. An inelastic demand is one in which the change in quantity demanded due to a change in price is small. The formula for computing elasticity of demand is: Figure 3. Unitary elasticity Elasticity of Demand File C5-207 July Close substitutes for a product affect the elasticity of demand. It another product can easily be substituted for your product, consumers will quickly switch to the other product if the price of your product rises or the price of the other product declines. For example, beef, pork and poultry are all meat products. The declining price of poultry in recent years has caused the consumption of poultry to increase, at the expense of beef and pork. So products with close substitutes tend to have elastic demand. (Q1 Q2) / (Q1 + Q2) (P1 P2) / (P1 + P2) Figure 1. Elastic demand If the formula creates a number greater than 1, the demand is elastic. In other words, quantity changes faster than price. If the number is less than 1, demand is inelastic. In other words, quantity changes slower than price. If the number is equal to 1, elasticity of demand is unitary. In other words, quantity changes at the same rate as price. Elastic Demand Elasticity of demand is illustrated in Figure 1. Note that a change in price results in a large change in quantity demanded. An example of products with an elastic demand is consumer durables. These are items that are purchased infrequently, like a washing machine or an automobile, and can be postponed if price rises. For example, automobile rebates have been very successful in increasing automobile sales by reducing price. An example of computing elasticity of demand using the formula above is shown below. When the price decreases from $10 per unit to $8 per unit, the quantity sold increases from 30 units to 50 units. The elasticity coefficient is 2.25.

16 Elasticity example P1 = $10 P2 = $8 Q1 = 30 Q2 = 50 (Q1 Q2) / (Q1 + Q2) = (50 30) / ( ) = 20 / 80 (P1 P2) / (P1 + P2) ($10 - $8) / ($10 + $8) $2 / $18 1 / 4 = 1 x 9 = 9 = / 9 4 x 1 4 Inelastic Demand Inelastic demand is shown in Figure 2. Note that a change in price results in only a small change in quantity demanded. In other words, the quantity demanded is not very responsive to changes in price. Figure 2. Inelastic demand Examples of this are necessities like food and fuel. Consumers will not reduce their food purchases if food prices rise, although there may be shifts in the types of food they purchase. Also, consumers will not greatly change their driving behavior if gasoline prices rise. An example of computing inelasticity of demand using the formula above is shown below. When the price decreases from $12 to $6 (50%), the quantity of demand increases from 40 to only 50 (25%). The elasticity coefficient is.33. Inelasticity example P1 = $12 P2 = $6 Q1 = 40 Q2 = 50 (Q1 Q2) / (Q1 + Q2) = (50 40) / ( ) = 10 / 90 (P1 P2) / (P1 + P2) ($12 - $6) / ($12 + $6) $6 / $18 1 / 9 = 1 x 3 = 3 =.33 1 / 3 9 x 1 9

17 Elasticity Reading Using the above information, answer the following: 1. A 10 percent increase in income brings about a 15 percent decrease in the demand for a good. What is the income elasticity of demand and is the good a normal good or an inferior good? Explain your answer. 2. If the price of a good increases by 8% and the quantity demanded decreases by 12%, what is the price elasticity of demand? Is it elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic?
