Price Elasticity of Demand Example • When price of Porterhouse Steak is $10/lb I may buy one 32 oz steak every month • When the price drops to $8/lb I will buy four 32 oz steaks every month • % change of demand is (8 -2)/8 = 75% • % change in price is ($8 – $10)/$8 = -25% • Price elasticity of demand is 75%/-25% = -3

Factors Influencing Price Elasticity of Demand Cross- Income price effect elasticity Substitution effect Wal-Mart Commercial
