What is the elasticity and inelasticity of demand?

increase has a major impact on demand
– Rise in price of Doritos will greatly affect demand
• Inelastic Demand– State in which price
increase has little impact on demand
– Rise in price of gasoline will not greatly affect demand

Factors that Decide if Demand is Elastic or Inelastic• Luxury or necessity– Luxury – want that is nice but not necessary• smartphone*, Camaro, tanning salon, shore
house• Highly elastic demand
– Necessity- needed to live • Food, water, shelter, healthcare• inelastic demand
• Substitutions– Can the good or service be replaced with something
else– Instead of Doritos, Fritos – Something easily substituted is highly elastic
• Consumer Income– How much money consumer makes affects demand
