Expert Solution
Step 1

Demand elasticity:

The demand function reflects an individual’s willingness to pay for each unit of the quantity he or she wishes to consume.

The demand elasticity is the amount of percent change in the demanded quantity by an individual with respect to a unitary change in the commodity price level.

Demand can be elastic, inelastic and unitary elastic.
