Question #95924

Describe the price elasticity of demand with diagrams?

Expert's answer

The price elasticity of demand simply shows that to what extent the demand will change (increase or decrease, generally in percentage) for a 1% change in the price level. A small change in price may have a large effect on demand if the demand curve is relatively flatter. A large change in price may have smaller effect in demand when the demand curve is relatively steeper. 

Here are the diagrams that show all possible types of elasticity:
