Explanation:

Demand is a term that is born out of the human desires , wants or needs.

Demand can be defined or referred to as the amount a consumer is able and willing to pay in other to purchase goods and services that they desire or want.

The Law of demand states that the Quantity of goods and services demanded is inversely proportional to the prices of these goods and services. This means when the prices of goods increase, the quantity demanded decreases and when the prices of goods decreases ,the quantity of goods and services demanded increases.

Elasticity of Demand can be defined as the responses or effects of changes in price of goods and services on changes in the quantity demanded.

We have 4 types of Elasticity of Demand

a) Price Elasticity of Demand: This is when the quantity of goods and services demanded is affected by the change in price.

b) Price Elasticity of Supply: This is when the quantity of goods and services supplied is affected by the change in price.

c) Cross Elasticity of Demand: This is when the price of one good affects to the quantity demanded for other good,

d) Income Elasticity of Demand: This when the quantity of goods and services demanded is affected by the changes in the income of the consumer.

There are situations whereby the law of demand is not applicable and this is referred to as it's exceptions. Those situations are:

a) The type of goods and services.

b) When changes in the price of the goods and services is expected by consumers.

c) Changes that occurs in fashion or styles of a particular product ( This is when a product goes out of fashion or the style becomes outdated)
