Elasticity of Demand The degree to which changes in a good’s price affect the quantity demanded by consumers
Elastic Demand A small change in a good’s price causes a major, opposite change in the quantity demanded.
Elastic Demand Elasticity of demand if… …the product is not a necessity
Elastic Demand Elasticity of demand if… …there are readily available substitutes
Elastic Demand Elasticity of demand if… …the product’s cost represents a large portion of consumers’ incomes
Inelastic Demand A change in a good’s price has little impact on the quantity demanded.
Inelastic Demand Inelasticity of demand if… …the product is a necessity
Inelastic Demand Inelasticity of demand if… …there are few or no readily available substitutes
Inelastic Demand Inelasticity of demand if… …the product’s cost represents a small portion of consumers’ incomes
Elasticity for a product varies depending on the specificity of the market—you can look at the big picture (general market) or the close-up picture (specific market)
The more time that passes following a price change, the more elastic a product’s demand becomes
Measuring Elasticity Total Revenue (total receipts) is the total income that a business receives from selling its products
Total Revenue & Elastic Demand A drop in a company’s total revenue from a price increase indicates elastic demand for a product.
Total Revenue & Inelastic Demand An increase in a company’s total revenue because of a price increase indicates inelastic demand for the product.
To maximize revenue, the seller must determine at what point pricing choice brings the highest revenue
SUPPLY The quantity of goods and services that producers are willing to offer at various possible prices during a given time period.
QUANTITY SUPPLIED The amount of a good or service that a producer is willing to sell at each particular price.
Law of Supply Producers supply more goods and services when they can sell them at higher prices and fewer goods and services when they must sell them at lower prices.
Profit Amount of money remaining after producers have paid costs
Costs of Production Business expenses involved in the manufacture of a product
Profit influences specific and general markets--new manufacturers will enter a profitable market; current manufacturers will increase production
