Own your learning

Why not also try our independent learning self-study & revision websites for students?

We currenly offer the following DP Sites: Biology, Chemistry, English A Lang & Lit, Maths A&A, Maths A&I, Physics, Spanish B

"The site is great for revising the basic understandings of each topic quickly. Especially since you are able to test yourself at the end of each page and easily see where yo need to improve."

"It is life saving... I am passing IB because of this site!"

Basic (limited access) subscriptions are FREE. Check them out at:

Unit 2.5-2.6: Review terms

Review of terms for unit 2.5-2.6: Elasticity

I have included this page, which contains a PDF handout as a simple revision exercise.  I find that many IB students get a degree of comfort from these short summary handouts.

Fill in the gaps (unit 2.5-2.6 review questions):

1. Price elasticity of demand can be described as the responsiveness of  for a good or service, following a change in   .  It is calculated by % change in   / % change in

 price  quantity demanded  price  quantity demanded  demand  demand 

 

 

Fill in the gaps (unit 2.5-2.6 review questions):

2. Price elasticity of supply can be described as the responsiveness of  for a product, following a change in   .  It is calculated by % change in   /   .

 price  % change in price  price  quantity supplied  supplied  supplied  quantity supplied 

 

 

Fill in the gaps (unit 2.5-2.6 review questions):

3.   (YED) can be described as the responsiveness of  for a good or service, following a change in  .  It is calculated by % change in  / % change in .

Fill in the gaps (unit 2.5-2.6 review questions):

4. Agricultural products are normally PES   , while manufactured goods normally have a PES greater than  .  This is because it is assumed that manufactured goods find it easier to substitute   towards the production of different products more easily.

 1  0  factor rewards  factors of production  elastic  inelastic 

 

 

Fill in the gaps (unit 2.5-2.6 review questions):

5. Luxury goods and services are normally PED  , while necessity goods normally have a PED lower than  .

Fill in the gaps (unit 2.5-2.6 review questions):

6. In normal circumstances primary products have the     PED, followed by manufactured goods and then    , which are usually the most PED elastic.

Fill in the gaps (unit 2.5-2.6 review questions):

7. Firms operating at full capacity will normally find that the products they produce are highly PES   , while the PES elasticity for a firm will rise as the available  increases.

 elastic  inelastic  unitary  capacity 

 

 

Fill in the gaps (unit 2.5-2.6 review questions):

8. Firms producing a PED inelastic good will find that their revenue     when prices rise and     when prices fall.  Firms producing a PED elastic good will find that there revenue     when prices rise and     when prices fall.  Firms producing goods which are PED unitary will see revenue     when there is a change in price.

Having now completed the pages on elasticity, why not test your students knowledge via a multiple choice quiz at: Unit 1.2: Multiple choice quiz

Alternatively perhaps your students would enjoy playing another game of 'who wants to be a millionaire', with questions focused on elasticity.  This is available at: Who wants to be a millionaire
