Question
Identify & explain the concept from the given illustration
Kiran’s demand for milk remained unchanged even when its price increased by 10%.
Solution
Concept: Perfectly inelastic demand
Explanation:
- When a percentage change in price has no effect on the quantity demanded of a commodity, it is called perfectly inelastic demand.
- Since rise in the price of milk by 10% had no effect on Kiran’s demand for milk, this illustration is related to the concept of ‘perfectly inelastic demand.’
