At the end of the lesson, the students should
be able to:
  define price elasticity of demand and price
 elasticity of supply

 identify the different types and
characteristics of demand elasticity

 identify the determinants of price elasticity
of supply and demand
At the end of the lesson, the students should
be able to:



 solve for the price elasticity of demand and
price elasticity of supply
