The price of a commodity falls from ₹ 50 to ₹ 30, resulting in an increase in the purchase of the commodity from 200 units to 220 units. Calculate the price elasticity of demand.

A consumer buys 50 units of a good at ₹ 4 per unit. If its price falls by 25 percent, its demand rises to 100 units. Calculate its price elasticity of demand.

At a price of ₹ 4 per unit a consumer buys 50 units of a good. The price elasticity of demand is (−) 2. How many units will the consumer buy at a price of ₹ 3 per unit?

The quantity demand of a commodity at price ₹ 8 per unit is 600 units. Its price falls by 25% and quantity demanded rises by 120 units. Calculate price elasticity of demand. Is its demand elastic?

Calculate the quantity demanded of a commodity when the price increases from ₹ 4 to ₹ 6. The original quantity demanded was 40 units and the price elasticity of demand is 0.5.

The price elasticity of demand of a good is 0.5. The consumer buys 50 units of the good at a price of ₹ 10 per unit. At what price will the consumer by willing to buy 60 units?

The quantity demanded of a commodity at a price of ₹ 10 per unit is 40 units. Its price elasticity of demand is −2. The price falls by 2 per unit. Calculate the quantity demanded at the new price.

A consumer buys 40 units of a good at a price of ₹ 3 per unit. When price rises to ₹ 4 per unit, he buys 30 units. Calculate e_P by the expenditure method.

When price of a good rises from ₹ 5 per unit to ₹ 6 per unit, its demand falls from 20 units to 10 units. Use the Expenditure Method of measuring price elasticity of demand to determine whether demand is elastic or inelastic.
