    Price elasticity of demand for Adam=0

    Price elasticity of demand for Barb=1

    Explanation:

    Price elasticity of demand = %age change in demanded QTY / %age change in demanded price

    The price is not important for Adam, and he demands a fixed quantity, hence his demand curve is vertical. A perfectly vertical demand curve is can inelastic demand curve and has price elasticity = 0

    The quantity is not important for Barb, and he demands a fixed price, hence his demand curve is horizontal. A perfectly horizontal demand curve is has price elasticity = 1
