Price Elasticity

Price elasticity basically depends on the behavior of the consumers, which are us, the customers.

There are two types of behavior:

  1. Elastic
  2. Inelastic
Elastic
Elastic customers:

  • Customers that does not care about the price of the products.
  • They buy whatever they WANT.
    • This usually happens when our income increases, we tend to buy unnecessarily items. 
Inelastic
Inelastic customers:


  • Customers that do care about the price of the products
  • They buy according to their salary, and savings.
  • They buy whatever they NEED.
    • There is a big difference between buying something we need and want. 
    • It happens when:
      • Price: UP, Demand: DOWN.
      • Price: DOWN, Demand: UP.
* that is considered as the movement of the elasticity *

SHORT SUMMARY:
"When the demands (willing buyers) and the suppliers (willing sellers) are successfully transacted, it will eventually lead to the state of equilibrium, which basically determines the price."
