Objectives
Objective of the Learning Module are:
  • To understand the definition of Law of Demand
  • To understand the difference between law of demand and elasticity of demand
  • To understand different types of Elasticity
  • To understand the degrees of elasticity
  • To understand Methods of measured of elasticity of demand
  • To understand the factor affecting elasticity of Demand
  • To know the uses of elasticity of Demand


Demand is the desire backed by willingness to pay and ability to pay.  Merely,  a wish to have a commodity does not become demand. A person wishing to have a commodity should be willing to pay for it and should have ability to pay for it. Thus a desire becomes demand if it is backed by willingness to pay and ability to pay. Demand is meaningless unless it is stated with reference to a price.

Definition
Law of Demand:

The law of demand states that the price of a commodity falls, the quantity demanded of that commodity will increase. It explains only the direction of change in demand and not the extent of change. This deficiency is removed by the concept of elasticity of demand.


Elasticity means responsiveness. Elasticity of demand refers to the responsiveness of quantity demanded of a commodity to change in its price.The concept of elasticity of demand plays a crucial role in business-decisions regarding fixing of price with a view to make larger.                                                                                                              ...............................
