What is unit elastic?

Economics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Unit elastic demand occurs when the percentage change in quantity demanded is exactly equal to the percentage change in price. This means the price elasticity of demand (PED) is exactly -1, or its absolute value is 1. When demand is unit elastic, a change in price will cause total revenue to remain unchanged.
