Price elasticity of demand is a measure of how responsive the quantity demanded of a good or service is to a change in its price. Marketlo – Price elasticity is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. The same is the case of price elasticity in supply. A good or service is considered to be price elastic if a small change in price results in a large change in quantity demanded, and inelastic if a large change in price is needed to change the quantity demanded.
