Select a product or service and discuss your subjective estimate of its price elasticity of demand. Is it highly elastic or inelastic, unitary elastic, etc.?
Does it matter if you select a specific brand of a product, such as Kellogg's corn flakes, versus breakfast cereal or Exxon gasoline versus gasoline in general?
What is the relationship between price elasticity and the effect on total revenue if the price of your product or service goes up or down?
Homework Answers
ANSWER:
- I choose basic SALT since it is necessary for all, therefore, it has less elastic demand.
- Yes, it matters if we select a specific brand of a product, such as Kellogg's corn flakes, versus breakfast cereal or Exxon gasoline versus gasoline in general due to their market demand and their price elasticity.
- If price elasticity is greater than 1 then Total Revenue and Price has an inverse relationship and If price elasticity is less than 1 then Total Revenue and Price has a direct relationship.

Price Elasticity of Demand: AWAKE Price Elasticity of Demand measurers how changed in a price affect the quantity of the product demanded. Specifically, it is the ratio of the percentage change in quantity demanded to the percentage change in price. In order to understand how to plan a successful pricing program, marketers must understand how elastic or inelastic the consumers are to changes in price. In other words, to what extent will a price increase or decrease result in changes...
