Definition Of Price Elasticity Of Demand
• The change in the quantity demanded of a
product due to a change in its price is known
as Price elasticity of demand. Thus, the
sensitiveness or responsiveness of demand to
change in price is as called elasticity of
demand
Kinds Of Price Elasticity Of Demand
1) Perfectly elastic demand
2) Relatively elastic demand
3) Elasticity of demand equal to utility
4) Relatively inelastic demand
5) Perfectly inelastic demand

Measurement Of Price Elasticity Of
Demand
There are main methods like
1. Percentage method or proportionate
method
2. Total outlay method or total revenue
method
3. Geometric method or point method
4. Arc elasticity of demand
1 Percentage method or proportionate method
(5) Factors Affecting Price Elasticity Of
Demand
Factors Affecting Price Elasticity Of
Demand
• Nature of the Commodity
• Availability of Substitutes
• Variety of uses of commodity
• Postponement
• Influence of habits
• Proportion of Income spent on a commodity
• Range of prices
Factors Affecting Price Elasticity Of
Demand
• Income Groups
• Elements of time
• Pattern of income distribution
(6) Practical Importance of the
Concept of Price Elasticity Of
Demand
Practical Importance of the Concept of
Price Elasticity Of Demand
• The concept is helpful in taking Business
Decisions
• Importance of the concept in formatting Tax
Policy of the government
• For determining the rewards of the Factors of
Production
• To determine the Terms of Trades Between
the Two Countries
Practical Importance of the Concept of
Price Elasticity Of Demand
• Determination of Rates of Foreign Exchange
• For Nationalization of Certain Industries
• In economic Analysis ,the concept of price
elasticity of demand helps in explaining the
irony of poverty in the midst of plenty.

Income Elasticity Of Demand =

Proportionate change in Income
i.e.
Income Elasticity Of Demand =

Measurement Of Income Elasticity Of
Demand
• Here , ∆q = Change in the quantity demanded.
Q = Original quantity demanded.
∆y = Change in income.
Y = Original income.
• For e.g. ,when Income of the consumer =
2,500/- , he purchases 20 units of X, when
income = 3,000/- he purchases 25 units of X
Measurement Of Income Elasticity Of
Demand
• Thus
Income Elasticity of Demand
=
= (5/20) + (500/2500)
= 1.5
therefore here the IED is 1.5 which is more
than one.

Factors Affecting Income Of Demand
• Income Itself Only.
• Price Of the Commodity
Importance Of the Concept of Income
Elasticity Of Demand
• In production planning and management
• In forecasting demand when change in
consumers income is expected
• In classifying goods as normal and inferior
• In expansion and contraction of the firm by
the figure of income elasticity of demand
• Markets situations could be studied with the
help of IED
(8) Elasticity Of Substitution
• The selection between two product or thing is
called substitution
• So Elasticity of Substitution measures the rate
at which the particular product is substituted .
• Thus EOS is the degree to which one product
could be substituted in context of price and
proportion
Elasticity Of Substitution
• Elasticity of Substitution
= Proportionate change in the quantity ratios
of goods x & y DIVIDED BY Proportionate
change in the price ratios of goods x & y.
Types of Elasticity Of Substitution
• Zero Elasticity of Substitution.
• Infinite Elasticity Of Substitution
• Elasticity of Substitution greater than unityor1
• Elasticity of Substitution is equal to one
• Elasticity of Substitution is less than one

Relationship Between Price Elasticity,
Income Elasticity and Substitution
Elasticity
• As Price is depended on income and
substitution effect similarly Price Elasticity is
depended on Income Elasticity an Substitution
Elasticity .
• These relationship can be represented by
• Ep = Kx E1 + ( 1 – Kx ) es
Price elasticity of demand depends on:
• Proportion of income spent on particular good
say X.
• Income elasticity of demand.
• Elasticity of substitution.
• Proportion of income spent on product other
than X.
Cross Elasticity of Demand
• Cross elasticity of demand express a
relationship between the change in the
demand for a given product in response to a
change in the price of some other product
• E.g. if the X tea demand reduces
tremendously than it effect could be seen in
demand of sugar and milk.
Types of Cross Elasticity of Demand
• Cross Elasticity of Demand Equal to Unity or
One
• Cross Elasticity of Demand Greater than Unity
or one
• Cross Elasticity of demand less than unity or
one

Importance of Cross Elasticity Of
Demand
• The concept is of very great importance in
changing the price of the products having
substitutes and complementary goods .
• In demand forecasting
• Helps in measuring interdependence of price
of commodity .
• Multiproduct firms use these concept to
measure the effect of change in price of one
product on the demand of their other product
Advertising Elasticity of Demand
• Advertising elasticity of demand is the
measure of the rate of change in demand
due to change in advertising expenditure
• The amount of change in demand of goods
due to advertisement is known as
Advertisement Elasticity of Demand .

Factors Affecting Advertising Elasticity
Of Demand
• The stage of the Product’s Market
Development .
• Reaction of market Rival Firms.
• Cumulative Effect of Past Advertisement.
• Influence of Other Factors.
Importance of the Advertising
Elasticity Of Demand in Business
Decisions
• It is useful in competitive industries.
• Though advertisement shifts the demand
curve to right path but it also increases the
fixed cost of the firm.
Limitation of Advertising Elasticity of
the Demand
• The impact of advertising on sales is different
under different conditions, even if other
demand determinants are constant.
• Like wise, it is difficult to establish any co-
relationship between advertising expenditure
and volume of sales when there counter
advertisements by rival firm in the market .
The effect on sales depend on what the rivals
are doing.
Thanking You All
