In which situation demand curve will be a rectangular hyperbola? |
when elasticity of demand happens to be equal to unity when elasticity of demand happens to be less than unity when elasticity of demand happens to be more than unity when elasticity happens to be inelastic |
when elasticity of demand happens to be equal to unity |
When elasticity of demand is 1 i.e. it is a unitary elastic demand curve, then it will form the shape of a rectangular hyperbola. Rectangular hyperbola is a curve under which all rectangular areas are equal. When the elasticity of demand is equal to unity (ed = 1) at all points of demand curve, then the demand curve is rectangular hyperbola. |
