1a) Price elasticity of demand (PED) measures the degree of responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to a given change in price of the good itself, ceteris paribus. It is found by taking the percentage change in quantity demanded of good X divided by the percentage change in the price of good X. The numerical value of the price elasticity of demand is always negative due to the inverse relationship between quantity demanded and price as stated in the law of demand. When we interpret

In this paper, we examine Happy Pet Clinic, a local veterinary clinic, and how the principles of elasticity of demand might frame its pricing decisions and planning. As a small practice, every change the managers make can have a significant impact on the clinic 's income. Price Elasticity of Demand, Cross Price Elasticity of Demand, and Income Elasticity of Demand concepts can be used to analyze and estimate how prices changes may affect the clinic 's bottom line Professional Vet Brand pet food
the various relationships of these economic principles and theories that are illustrated throughout every day governmental policies, business practices, decision making and individual consumer choices.

quantity; The Equilibrium price is set when the supply and demand meet when the quantity demanded by the customer (market demand) and the quantity that the companies (suppliers) are willing to supply the goods/services. For example if you take a look at this graph you can see that at the cross section, where the lines of supply and demand meet, the equilibrium point is shown. This is the “market clearing price” where supply equals demand. Equilibrium Point; Equilibrium Point; Figure 1-Sourced

Scarcity is the condition where the human desires cannot be fulfilled due to the limitation of available resources.
