A scenario…
You design websites for local businesses.
You charge $200 per website,
and currently sell 12 websites per month.
Your costs are rising
(including the opportunity cost of your time),
so you consider raising the price to $250.
The law of demand says that you won’t sell as
many websites if you raise your price.
How many fewer websites? How much will your
revenue fall, or might it increase?

Elasticity
Basic idea:
Elasticity measures how much one variable
responds to changes in another variable.
One type of elasticity measures how much
demand for your websites will fall if you raise
your price.
Definition:
Elasticity is a numerical measure of the
responsiveness of Qd or Qs to one of its
determinants.

Calculating Percentage Changes
Using the midpoint method, the % change
in P equals
$250 – $200
x 100% = 22.2%
$225
The % change in Q equals
12 – 8
x 100% = 40.0%

The price elasticity of demand equals
40/22.2 = 1.8

EXAMPLE 1:
Breakfast Cereal vs. Sunscreen
The prices of both of these goods rise by 20%.
For which good does Qd drop the most? Why?
Breakfast cereal has close substitutes
(e.g., bread, eggs, cheeses),
so buyers can easily switch if the price rises.
Sunscreen has no close substitutes,
so consumers would probably not
buy much less if its price rises.
Lesson: Price elasticity is higher when close
substitutes are available.

EXAMPLE 2:
“Coffee ” vs. “Drink”
The prices of both goods rise by 20%.
For which good does Qd drop the most? Why?
For a narrowly defined good such as
Coffee, there are many substitutes
(tea, water, juice).
There are fewer substitutes available for
broadly defined goods.
(There aren’t too many substitutes for drink!)
Lesson: Price elasticity is higher for narrowly
defined goods than broadly defined ones.

EXAMPLE 3:
Insulin vs. Caribbean Cruises
The prices of both of these goods rise by 20%.
For which good does Qd drop the most? Why?
To millions of diabetics, insulin is a necessity.
A rise in its price would cause little or no
decrease in demand.
A cruise is a luxury. If the price rises,
some people will forego it.
Lesson: Price elasticity is higher for luxuries
than for necessities.

EXAMPLE 4:
Gasoline in the Short Run vs.
Gasoline in the Long Run
The price of gasoline rises 20%. Does Qd drop
more in the short run or the long run? Why?
There’s not much people can do in the
short run, other than ride the bus or train.
In the long run, people can buy smaller cars
or live closer to where they work.
Lesson: Price elasticity is higher in the
long run than the short run.

The steeper the curve, the smaller the elasticity.

Price Elasticity and Total Revenue
Continuing our scenario, if you raise your price
from $200 to $250, would your revenue rise or fall?
Revenue = P x Q
A price increase has two effects on revenue:
Higher P means more revenue on each unit
you sell.
But you sell fewer units (lower Q),
due to law of demand.
Which of these two effects is bigger?
It depends on the price elasticity of demand.

Price Elasticity and Total Revenue

Revenue = P x Q
If demand is elastic, then

% change in Q > % change in P
The fall in revenue from lower Q is greater
than the increase in revenue from higher P,
so revenue falls.

The fall in revenue from lower Q is smaller
than the increase in revenue from higher P,
so revenue rises.
In our example, suppose that Q only falls to 10
(instead of 8) when you raise your price to $250.

The Determinants of Supply Elasticity
The more easily sellers can change the quantity
they produce, the greater the price elasticity of
supply.
Example: Supply of beachfront property is
harder to vary and thus less elastic than
supply of new cars.
For many goods, price elasticity of supply
is greater in the long run than in the short run,
because firms can build new factories,
or new firms may be able to enter the market.
