The demand for a product is inelastic with respect to price if: consumers are largely unresponsive to a per unit price change. the elasticity coefficient is greater than 1. a drop in price is accompanied by a decrease in the quantity demanded. a drop in price is accompanied by an increase in the quantity demanded.
