    ​Which of the following is calculated as the percentage change in the demand for the goods divided by the percentage change in the price for the goods
    Question

    ​Which of the following is calculated as the percentage change in the demand for the goods divided by the percentage change in the price for the goods?​

    A.

    ​Elasticity of Demand​

    B.

    ​Product Cost​

    C.

    ​Total Utility​

    D.

    ​Surplus​

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (A) Elasticity of Demand.

    • The quantity change in percentage terms divided by the price change in percentage terms is used to compute the price elasticity of demand.
    • As a result, the demand is inelastic between these two positions, as indicated by the value of the elasticity of demand, which is 6.9% 15.4%, or 0.45, which is less than one.
    • Additional Information:
    • Price elasticity of demand measures how much a product's consumption changes in response to price changes.
    • If a good's price elasticity is infinite, it is perfectly elastic (if demand changes substantially even with minimal price change).
    • The good is elastic if price elasticity is more than 1, and inelastic if it is less than 1.
    • A good is completely inelastic if its price elasticity is zero, meaning that no amount of price variation will alter demand.
    • Price elasticity is referred to as unitary elasticity if it is exactly 1 (price change causes an equal proportion change in demand).
