Demand is the “total quantity customers are willing and able to purchase” (Shah, 2017)1, looking at the price elasticity of demand determines how much a product is priced and how responsive demand is to the change of that price. For example, 500 people will be willing to pay £15 for a concert ticket, however if the price of the ticket was increased to £25, then only 250 people would be willing to pay. This can be shown using a demand curve, which is based upon the principle that if the price of…

INTRODUCTION 1.1 The concept of elasticity Elasticity is an economics concept that measures the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another variable. Suppose you drop two items from a second-floor balcony. The first item is a tennis ball. The second item is a brick. Which will bounce higher? Obviously, the tennis ball. We would say that the tennis ball has greater elasticity. Beggs (2017) wrote that elasticity can take a number of different forms, depending on what cause and effect…

typically implies that there will be some sort of prejudicial treatment of others in a negative way. However, the use of price discrimination or “price optimization” techniques particularly the use of credit scores has been seen as an attack on low-income individuals. There are currently three states that preclude the use of credit scoring, occupation or education level as part of the car insurance application process – Massachusetts, Hawaii and California and five that have ruled out price…

Supply, demand, and elasticity can be one of the most fundamental elements in economics which linked by marketing acts. Begg (2014: 43) states that demand is the amount of goods or services the buyers are willing to buy at an acceptable price. And the supply is the amount of goods or services the producers are willing to sell at an acceptable price. The main purpose of this essay is firstly explaining what is supply, demand and elasticity and how they influence the market. Then take Hanjin…

How the consumers respond to this change can be measured by the price elasticity of demand. It represents a proportional change in quantity demanded of a product according to a proportional change in price. It measures the response degree of the demand of a product or service to the change in their prices. The price elasticity of demand is calculated as the percentage of change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage of change in price. For…

Air Transport in the United Kingdom Q1. Factors That Determine the Demand for UK air Transport The air transport market has been expanding rapidly ever since the first commercial airplane set for the skies in 1914. At first it was mainly used for international transportation but local transportation also became available, periodically increasing the demand for air transportation and this was witnessed in all countries with air transport such as the United States of America, France, Germany,…

Introduction This paper focuses on the microeconomic concepts of price elasticity as it relates to supply and demand of a given product; non-price factors that affect supply and demand; and finally market equilibrium and the effects of changes in supply or demand on it. The product selected for this analysis is Tide PODS®, launched in 2012 by Procter and Gamble (Procter and Gamble, 2016a, para. 11). Tide PODS® is an innovative product that Procter and Gamble introduced to the laundry…

is depends on elasticity, its not depends on who imposed on. Whether the tax is imposed on sellers or buyers, the consumer burden are the same, consumer pays and producer receives are the same as well. However it would be logistically and practically easier to impose it on seller rather than the buyers (huge amount of buyer thus too hard to collect from every single of them). Question 02 a) The price elasticity of demand is a units-free measure of the elasticity of the…

1. Please explain inelasticity and elasticity of demand. What happens when there is a tax on luxury items? In economics, elasticity is the measure of responsiveness towards the demand for a product when its price is changed. The basic formula for calculating the elasticity of a product is to divide the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. When the value of elasticity is greater than one percent, it indicates that the demand for the good is sensitive to…
