Ship matchboxes today, are sold at a price of Rs. 1 per box containing 50 matches within. They were sold at 25 paise during 1970's and have since experience over a 250% rise in costs which has forced Wimco to raise prices.
The demand function however changes little compared to the magnitude of change in price. The demand for such a low value product will more often than not be inelastic.
