    If the supply of both changes, the computer price will increase more since it has an elastic demand.

    Explanation:

    Price elasticity of demand can be defined as a measure of how much the demand of a good or service changes with a corresponding change in price. It tries to estimate how much the consumers respond in terms of demand when the price of a good or service changes. The formula for determining the price elasticity of demand is as follows;

    E=%D/%P

    where;

    E=price elasticity of demand

    %D=percentage change in the demand which is given as;

    %D={ (final demand-initial demand) / initial demand}*100

    %P=percentage change in price which is given as;

    %P={ (final price-initial price) / initial price}*100

    The measure for the price elasticity of demand is absolute. A good or service can either be elastic or inelastic. A good that is elastic is one whose price elasticity of demand is greater than 1 which means that it's demand is highly responsive to changes in price. On the other hand, a good that is inelastic is one whose price elasticity of demand is less than 1 means that the changes in price do not affect it's demand.
