Elasticity
Akopọ
Put a 10% tax on cigarettes and sales barely move, but put the same 10% tax on cinema tickets and audiences shrink sharply. Both are price rises of the same size, yet the reaction of buyers is completely different. Elasticity is the single number that captures exactly how sensitive, or how insensitive, demand or supply is to a change in price or income, and it is one of the most powerful tools in a business's or a government's toolkit.
In this lesson you will work through all three elasticity measures on the 4EC1 specification in full: price elasticity of demand, price elasticity of supply, and income elasticity of demand. For each you will learn the formula, how to calculate it from percentage changes, how to read its sign and size, what determines it, and why it matters to a business deciding whether to raise its prices or to a government deciding what to tax.

- Definition of price elasticity of demand (PED)
- Formula of PED
- Calculate the PED using given percentage changes in quantity demanded and percentage changes in price
- The use of diagrams to show price elastic and price inelastic demand

- The factors influencing PED, including substitutes, degree of necessity, percentage of income spent on goods or service, time
- Use of total revenue calculations to show the relationship between a change in price and the change in total revenue, to determine whether demand is price elastic or price inelastic
- Definition of price elasticity of supply (PES)
- Formula of PES
- Calculate the PES using given percentage changes in quantity supplied and percentage changes in price
- The use of diagrams to show price elastic and price inelastic supply
- Interpret numerical values of PES that show perfect price inelasticity, price inelasticity, unitary price elasticity, price elasticity, perfect price elasticity
- The factors influencing PES, including factors of production, availability of stocks, spare capacity, time
- Use examples to show the likely PES for manufactured and primary products
