  4. unit elastic demand
    the price elasticity of demand is one, so the percentage change in quantity equals the percentage change in price
  5. perfectly inelastic demand
    the price elasticity of demand is zero
  6. formula for the Price Elasticity of Demand (Ed)
    Ed= |% change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price|
  7. total revenue

  12. price elasticity of supply
    a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity supplied to changes in price
  13. formula for Price Elasticity of Supply (Es)
    Es= % change in quantitiy supplied ÷ % change in price
  14. perfectly inelastic supply
    the price elasticity of supply equals 0
  15. perfectly elastic supply
