How to Calculate Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)

price x quantity = total revenue

9 x 2 = 18
8 x 3 = 24

%change in quantity / %change in price = PED

how to calculate % change

new - old / old

1) % change in quantity

3-2/2 = 50

2) % change in price

8-9/9 = -11.11

50/11.11 = 4.5 (elastic)

elasticity

when PED > 1 then elastic
when =1 then unit elastic
when <1 then inelastic

Now consider over university quiz.

When the price of petrol rises by 12%, the quantity of petrol purchased falls by 8%. This shows that the demand for petrol is:

%change in quantity / %change in price = PED

8/12=0.66

result < 1

Answer: inelastic
