1. What is price elasticity of demand?

A measure of how sensitive quantity demanded is to a change in price

The total quantity demanded at a specific price

1 answered

3. Which of the following factors affects the price elasticity of demand?

Availability of substitutes

Total revenue

Advertising budget
