What Distinction between price elastic and price inelastic?

Elasticity is "a measure of responsiveness that tells us how a dependent variable such as a quantity responds to a change in an independent variable such as price." Basically, that means that elastic product's demand is affected by price and an inelastic product's demand is unaffected by price.For example: if a product is elastic, the price goes up and demand goes down, or the price goes down and demand goes up. Examples are electronics, candy and junk food, and even cars.If a product is inelastic, the demand will stay the same no matter the price. Examples are medical supplies.

What are examples of products with elastic and inelastic demand?

Products with elastic demand include luxury items like designer clothing or high-end electronics, where a price increase can significantly reduce quantity demanded. In contrast, inelastic demand is characteristic of essential goods such as medications or basic food items, where consumers will continue to purchase relatively unchanged despite price fluctuations.

When a product is known to have an 'elastic demand' it means?

When a product has elastic demand it means that a change in price will have a subsequent change in price. An example of an elastic good is a fuji apple. If the prices of fuji apples increase, then consumers will buy a substitute, like a pear instead. Say we are given a good, like food (in general), this product would be inelastic. Even a large increase in price would could little change in demand because people need this good.


Is rice production consider as Inelastic demand or elastic demand?

Production itself cannot have inelastic demand, only supply. I will look at both cases. The demand for rice as a good is very inelastic. This is because people will buy rice no matter the price, because in many places of the world, it is their main source of food. Recently rice as skyrocketed in price (resulting in riots in places), but people still buy it. This is mainly out of necessity, but alternatives are emerging. The elasticity of supply is also inelastic, as we are looking at a huge rise in prices, but a very small change in production.


What is elasticity of demands?

How much demand of a product goes up or down depending on the price. Elastic demand changes greatly as price changes - for normal goods, as the price goes up, demand drops. Demand for things like non-staple food - like cookies - is elastic. If cookies cost 50 cents a box, there might be huge demand for them. But if that price goes to $10 a box, if the price were elastic, the demand would be much lower. For an inelastic demand curve, people's demand changes little as prices change. THese are goods for which there are few substitutes. Things like gasoline have relatively inelastic demand curves - people will slow down their use/demand of gasoline a bit as prices go up, but a certain level of gasoline consumption is going to exist regardless of price. People are simply going to pay what they have to to get it.


Why Bread is elastic or inelastic?

Bread is generally considered to be inelastic in demand because it is a staple food item that people need for their daily nutrition. Even if the price of bread increases, consumers are likely to continue purchasing it because there are few substitutes that can fulfill the same dietary role. However, the level of elasticity can vary depending on the type of bread and consumer preferences, as some specialty breads might have more elastic demand. Overall, essential goods like bread tend to show inelastic demand characteristics.


If because a modest price increase has little or no effect the demand for the product is?

If a modest price increase has little no no effect on the demand it means that the product is inelastic. Inelastic goods are those that people will need no matter what the price is, such as most medications, and food as a whole (not specific brands). Elastic goods are defined as goods were the demand fluctuates as the price fluctuates. These are different brands of foods (If Dole starts to charge more for apple juice consumers will switch to Tropicana orange juice.)


What is an example of a product that is not elastic?

A product that is "not elastic" is considered "inelelastic." More precisely, we say that DEMAND for the product is elastic or inelastic (a good example of an"elastic product" is a rubber band, but that is to say nothing of its demand.Inelastic goods tend to fall into a few categories. They may be goods which have few close substitutes. This means that broadly defined goods tend to have less elastic demand than narrowly defined goods. For example, "vegetables" have less elastic demand than "broccoli," because if the price of broccoli goes up, we can easily switch to cauliflower or asparagus. Likewise, "vegetables" have more elastic demand than "food." When vegetables are more costly, we can stock up on grains or fruits (but probably won't switch to more meats, since they tend to be more expensive already). If the price of food goes up, we will simply pay it if we can. Thus, "food" is a relatively inelastic good.Another category of goods with inelastic demand is goods whose cost represents a small portion of our budgets. Salt is a great example. If the cost of salt doubles from $1 to $2, we are unlikely to cut our consumption in half. We may not even notice.
