Funny story, i had an economics class in my 2nd year of uni, and my professor gave us the overcomplicated formula for the PED and it made little to no sense to me back then. Looking back at it, it is so much easier and it actually makes perfect sense! Needless to say, i was lost the whole semester after this chapter :D. Thank you so much for doing these videos, they are amazing for anyone who wants to learn!
It's simply mirrored. He answers that question in other vids. He is indeed right handed and the original recording is behind the board and everything is backwards. But it is uploaded flipped.
Sir great way of and teaching and u have a perfect knowledge of this subject your vedio is really helpful but sir u had made vedios on some topics(chapters) so, sir it would be more helpful if u uplode more vedio Thankyou sir
I have videos on many of the concepts that would be in a principles of macroeconomics or microeconomics course. Make sure to visit my channel and click on the playlist link. I may be uploading more videos in the future.
Day before i have test suddenly i listen to you about easy to calculate PED or E . You help me a lot because was not attending my clsss lecture for almost all semester because of alot of 🌧️🌧️🌧️. Finally i pass my test 13/15.🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@DrAzevedoEcon. I calculated and I gt price elasticity demand is 1/3 and I used your simple formula but classmate used that hard formula and he gt -0.2 and went check to that gbt and the answer is -0.2 . Please help to know the real answer. The question below 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Find elasticity of demand given that when the price of a commodity is $ 4, the quantity demanded is 10 units, and when the price increases to $ 8, quantity demanded decreases to 8 units.
@@JELSONMAUKI Your calculations are correct. It appears that what your classmate is doing is calculating the elasticity without using the midpoint method. In my opinion, that is incorrect. The reason for using the midpoint method is that your answer is not dependent on which price you start with. If your classmate uses their method, they will get a different answer if they start with P=4, Q=10 than if they start with P=8, Q=8.
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek your guidance on accessing the online homework platform for our course. If you could provide any instructions or resources on how to access the platform, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your assistance.
Dr Aevedo YOU ARE THE BOSS OF THE INTRODUCTION INTO ECONOMICS! YOU ARE THE GREATEST TEACHER. MY TEACHER GAVE ME FORUMA LIKE (Q1-Q2)/[Q1+Q2]/2 // (P1-P2)/[(P1+P2)/2] AND I WAS SO SHOKED
Thank you so much! I barely passed my first quiz sinc3 im taking an online class and i have to read the book and try to make sense of it. Now that i see you explaining it in a different way i see how simple it is. I really appreciate your videos!
I enjoyed your lecture, especially the reflection on revising your approach to teaching this idea. I've been helping my daughter with her business calculus class, and your video helped make this more concrete.
