Sort the following determinants of price elasticity of demand. Which ones make goods and services more elastic and which ones make goods and services
More inelastic
More Inelastic:
The good is a necessity
When few substitutes exist for a good
A broad market category of goods
More Elastic:
When looking at demand in the long run
The good is a larger share of the consumer budget
Demand becomes more inelastic when there are necessity goods or few substitutes available. It is the characteristics of broad market category of goods.
Demand becomes elastic when people have longer time to readjust or goods constitute the bigger share of the budget. Then, people try to substitute it to manage their budget.

5. Determinants of the price elasticity of demand
Consider some determinants of the price elasticity of
demand:
• The availability of close substitutes
• Whether the good is a necessity or a luxury
• How broadly you define the market
• The time horizon being considered
A good with many close substitutes is likely to have relatively
__(Elastic, Inelastic)___ demand since consumers can easily choose
to purchase one of the close substitutes if the price of the good
rises.

Consider some determinants of the price elasticity of demand: • Availability of close substitutes • Whether the good is a necessity or a luxury • Whether the good is broadly defined • The proportion of a consumer's budget spent on the good • Time people have to adapt to new price changes A good without any close substitutes is likely to have relatively(elastic or inelastic)demand, because consumers cannot easily switch to a substitute good if the price of the good...
By considering the determinants of the price elasticity of demand, explain whether the demand for air travel is price elastic or price inelastic. You may consider both the business travelers and the leisure travelers when analysing their price elasticities of demand.
•Evaluate the elasticity of demand for your product by applying a minimum of two elasticity determinants. Does your product likely have an elastic or inelastic demand based upon your evaluation of factors influencing the price elasticity of demand? How will considering these elasticity determinants impact product revenue?
Identify the factors that affect price elasticity of demand and supply. Add more products or services to those given in Table 4.2 (p. 125). Fill in the table below: For a poor family For a wealthy family 2 commodities that have elastic demands 2 commodities that have elastic demands 2 commodities that have inelastic demands 2 commodities that have inelastic demands Are there any differences between the two families? Why? What is the elasticity of illegal goods? For sin products,...
Demand is more elastic: a. in the short run than in the long run. b. for goods with many substitutes than for goods with only a few. c. for goods with no substitutes. d. for necessities than for luxuries. e. for broadly defined goods than for narrowly defined ones. All other things constant, if a _____ proportion of a consumer’s budget is spent on a good, the demand for the good will be more _____ and a consumer will purchase...
