Question

the price elasticity of demand of a commodity is(-) 1.5 when price falls by rs 1 per unit its quantity demand rises by 3 units if the quantity demand before the price change was 30 units calculate the slope of demand curve ​

Answer 1

Answer:

hi

Explanation:

Given,P=Rs.26; P

1

=Rs.30;

△P=P

1

−P = Rs.30−Rs.26=Rs.4

Q=30 units; Q

1

=15 units; $$

△Q=Q

1

−Q=(15−30) units = (−)15 units

Price elasticity of demand (E
