Further Explanation Demand Demand refers to the ability and willingness of consumers or buyers to buy a quantity of goods or services at a particular price. Consumers will buy certain quantity of goods or services at a particular price in the market. Demand of goods or services by the consumers is determined by the prevailing market price, such that the higher the price the higher the demand. Consumers will be willing to buy more goods and services at a lower market price while their ability to buy will decrease at higher prices. Elasticity of demand. Elasticity of demand is a measure of how demand for goods and services varies due to certain economic factors such as consumer income and prices of goods. It is calculated as a percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by percentage changes in economic variables such as consumer income. Types of elasticity  Price elasticity of Demand  Price elasticity of demand refers to the responsiveness of demand relative to changes in price. It shows how demand of a good changes relative to the price of that good in the market. Cross-elasticity of demand  This type of demand elasticity is calculated by dividing the percentage change in the quantity demanded by the percentage change of the price of another good. It shows the responsiveness of demand for a commodity relative to the prices of other goods in the market. Price elasticity of supply This elasticity measures how the quantity supplied varies due to changes in the price.
