If demand for a good is perfectly inelastic, then the demand curve is vertical. the demand curve is horizontal. the own price elasticity of demand is infinite in absolute value. a small increase in price will lead to a situation where none of the good is purchased.

If the demand function for a particular good is Q = 25 - 10P, then the price elasticity of demand (in absolute value) at a price of $1 is *
Akash M.
The demand for a good is given by Q = 100 - 3P - 2PA + 0.3Y, where P is the price of the good, PA is the price of an alternative good, and Y is income. If P = 25, PA = 10, and Y = 1500, then the own-price elasticity of demand is (rounded up): -0.165 -0.989 -0.25 -3.0 -0.044
