Answer:

The demand for Post Raisin Brand cereal is: ELASTIC  

the demand for all types of breakfast cereals is: INELASTIC

Explanation:

To calculate the price elasticity of demand (PED) we can use the following formula:

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price

  • If PED > 1, the demand is price elastic
  • If PED = 1, the demand is price unitary
  • If PED < 1, the demand is price inelastic

*The PED always results in a negative number, e.g. price deceases, quantity increases, but for practical reasons we convert the negative number into a positive (we use absolute values) when we are determining the elasticity.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

inelastic demand

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand (PED) measures the proportional change in quantity demanded when the price of a product or service changes:

  • when a 1% decrease in price, increases quantity demanded in a smaller proportion, the PED is said to be inelastic.
  • when a 1% decrease in price, increases quantity demanded in a larger proportion, the PED is said to be elastic.
  • when a 1% decrease in price, increases quantity demanded in the same proportion, the PED is said to be unit elastic.

In this case, the decrease in price (-2%) barely increased the quantity demanded, therefore, the PED is inelastic.
