Todd sells facial cream. Todd knows that a 4% increase in the price of facial cream will reduce the quantity of facial cream demanded by 3%. Based on this information, Todd determines that the demand for facial cream is
- elastic
- inelastic
- unit elastic
- perfectly elastic
Answer : The answer is option B.
Elasticity of demand (E) = % changes in quantity demanded / % changes in price level
=> E = 3 / 4 = 0.75
As here the elasticity of demand is less than 1 hence the demand for facial cream is inelastic. Therefore, option B is correct.
