Question

What is a better Elastic or Inelastic Demand


Open in App
Solution

Elastic demand means that when another economic factor changes typically the price of the good or service, there is a significant shift in the quantity requested, while inelastic demand means that when another economic factor is adjusted, there is just a minor or no change in the quantity requested for the good or service.

An inelastic demand is one in which the change in the quantity requested is minimal due to a price change. If a number greater than 1 is generated by the formula, then the demand is elastic. Quantity shifts faster than price, in other words. The demand is inelastic if the number is less than 1.
