RELATIVELY INELASTIC: An elasticity alternative in which relatively large changes in price cause relatively small changes in quantity. In other words, quantity is not very responsive to price. Relatively inelastic should be compared with other elasticity alternatives--relatively elastic, perfectly inelastic, perfectly elastic, and unit elastic.

Doing The Numbers: Endpoint
|
|
|
- Our task is to calculated the price elasticity of demand using the endpoint formula. I am presenting the endpoint formula for reference.
endpoint
elasticity | = | (Q2 - Q1)
Q1 | ÷ | (P2 - P1)
P1 |
- Suppose the values for this formula are P1 = $2.49, Q1 = 5,447 unit of a given good (say Tacos), P2 = $1.99, Q2 = 6,608 units of Tacos
endpoint
elasticity | = | 0.21 ÷ - 0.20 | = | - 1.05 |
- This value - 1.05 indicates that the a one percent decline in the price of Tacos results in a 1.05 percent increase in quantity demanded.

LAW A generally accepted, verified, proven, fundamental scientific relation. A law is a scientifically certified, thoroughly verified, cause-and-effect relation about the workings of the world. It has been tested and retested through the scientific method. The law of demand, law of increasing opportunity cost, and law of diminishing marginal utility are three fundamental (and extremely important) economic laws of nature.
