    Price elasticity of demand (PED or Ed) is a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity demanded of a good or service to a change in its price. The formula for the coefficient of price elasticity of demand for a good is:

    e(R) =
    DQ / Q
    DP /

    where e(R) = Elasticity of demand; dQ/ Q= % change in demand and dP/P= % change in price.

    When the marginal revenue productivity of a factor is equal to the marginal- cost (MR=MC) of the factor, the firm will be in equilibrium and its profits maximized. Equilibrium in perfect competition is the point where market demands will be equal to market supply. The condition that price equals both average revenue and marginal revenue (P = AR = MR) is the standard condition for a perfectly competitive firm.
