Suppose the price of a commodity falls from ₹6 to ₹4 per unit and due to this quantity demanded of the commodity increases from 80 units to 120 units. Find out the price elasticity of demand Solution: Following information is given: Q = 80 units Q 1 = 120 units ΔQ =Q 1 -Q =120-80 = 40 P = ₹6 P 1 = ₹4 ΔP = P 1 -P = 4-6 = -2 E d =? Note : (-) negative sign is prefixed to the formula because price and demand are inversely related. Doing this would bring the value of elasticity of demand
