Q

What is perfect inelasticity and perfect elasticity of demand?

A

Zero elasticity, or perfect inelasticity, is the extreme case where a percentage change in price—no matter how large—results in zero change in quantity.

Infinite elasticity, or perfect elasticity, is the extreme case where either the quantity demanded or supplied changes by an infinite amount in response to any change in price.
