Answer:
For Dan, the demand is price inelastic
Explanation:
One of the factors tat affect the quantity demand for a product is the price of the product. According to the law of demand, at lower price more quantity of a product would be purchased than at a higer price, all other this being being equal.
Price elasticity of Demand (PED)
The extent to which a change in price will cause a change in the quantity demand for a product is called the price elasticity of demand. It measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demand to a change in price.
It is calculated as
PED =% change in quantity demand / % change in price.
For Dan Newspaper , the price elasticity of demand
= 4%/8%
= 0.5
If the PED is greater than 1, the demand is price elastic
If the PED is less than 1 , demand is price inelastic
For Dan, the demand is price inelastic
A reciprocal is the opposite. For example the reciprocal to pie/2 is 2/pie. pie+3 would be 3+pie. Some more examples in include 2/3=3/2, 6/8=8/6, 5=1/5, 6/1=1/6
