Expert Solution
Step 1

Elasticity is used to measure the change in quantity due to change in price. 

The deemand is said to be elastic when the absolute value of elasticity is greater than 1. 

The demansd is said to be inelastic when the absolute value of elasticity is less than 1. 

The formula of elasticity is given as : Ed = QP×PQ
