Suppose that when the price of a soft drink rises 10%, the quantity demanded of the soft drink falls 5%. Based on this information, what is the approximate absolute price elasticity of demand for soft drink

Answer :

jepessoa

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand (PED) measures how a 1% change in the price of a good or service changes the quantity demanded.

in this case the PED = -5% / 10% = -0.5

PED is usually measured in absolute terms = 0.5, this means that the demand is price inelastic. A change in the price will result in a smaller proportional change in the quantity demanded.
