Elasticity is the ratio of the % change in quantity to the % change in price. So if the two are identical, than it is said to be unitary elastic. If quantity changes more than price, then it is said to be elastic. If the quantity changes less than price, then it is said to be inelastic.
Calculating Price Elastic of Demand. Products whose sales volumes change more with price shifts are considered to have elastic demand. Goods and services whose sales volumes change little with price alterations are considered to have inelastic demand. To calculate how elastic or inelastic a product is, the percent change in price is divided from the percentage change in quantity demanded. So if sales decrease 40 percent because the price of a good increases 20 percent, the formula is -40 percent divided by 20 percent. The price elasticity of demand is measured at -2.
