Introduction

The change in quantity required or provided as a result of differences in the demand or supply drivers is referred to as elasticity in economics. It aids economists in forecasting market circumstances due to changes in a number of variables. This concept is in favour of the taxation of goods and services as well as government decision-making. This concept is also used by businesses and producers to foresee patterns in demand and estimate the price of their goods.
