the law of demand infers that a decline in the price of a good increases the quantity demanded. Therefore, the price elasticity of demand gauges how much the quantity demanded reacts to a change in price. Demand for a product is deemed to be elastic in scenarios where the quantity demanded reacts considerably to changes in the price. Demand is described as inelastic if the quantity demanded responds only slightly to changes in the price. The price elasticity of demand for any product gauges how…
