This interactive lesson explores how the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) changes along a demand curve. The lesson uses the percentage change formula shown below to calculate elasticity.
Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded รท Percentage Change in Price
Point A represents the old (initial) point and Point B represents the new point. Move the points to see how price, quantity demanded, percentage changes, and elasticity update in real time.
