Use product examples to illustrate elastic and inelastic demand.

What will be an ideal response?


Elasticity of demand is the degree to which a change in price affects the quantity demanded.  Elastic demand happens when an increase in price lowers demand or a decrease in price raises demand.  Luxury cars, jewelry, or products with the latest technology are examples. Inelastic demand is if an increase in price raises revenue or a decrease in price lowers revenue.  Necessities such as toilet paper, sugar or toothpaste typically have inelastic demand.
