Answer:
Highly inelastic
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the demand of a given service or commodity by utilizing it's price change. It can be calculated using the formula;
Price elasticity of demand=%change in quantity demanded/%change in price
%change in quantity demanded=((Final demand-Initial demand)/Initial demand)×100
((299-300)/300)×100=-0.33%
%change in price=12%
12%>0.33%
The change in price is larger than the change in demand, therefor the product is highly inelastic
