Elasticity
A measure of sensitivity between two variables, allowing comparison across products by removing units.
Percentage Change
A calculation using the difference between new and original values divided by the original, expressed as a proportion.
Quantity Demanded
The amount of a product consumers are willing to purchase at a specific price during a given period.
Price
The monetary value assigned to a product, influencing consumer purchasing decisions and demand.
Price Elasticity of Demand
A ratio showing how much quantity demanded responds to a change in price, using percentage changes.
Absolute Value
A mathematical approach that considers only the positive magnitude, ignoring negative signs in elasticity calculations.
Elastic Demand
A situation where the percentage change in quantity demanded exceeds the percentage change in price.
Inelastic Demand
A scenario where the percentage change in quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in price.
Unit Elastic
A condition where the percentage change in quantity demanded equals the percentage change in price.
Denominator
The value used as the base in percentage change calculations, affecting elasticity results.
Numerator
The value representing the difference between new and original amounts in percentage change calculations.
Delta
A Greek symbol used to denote change in a variable, commonly seen in economic formulas.
Average
A method of combining original and new values to create a consistent base for elasticity calculations.
Law of Demand
A principle stating that as price rises, quantity demanded falls, and vice versa, reflecting an inverse relationship.
Sensitivity
The degree to which one variable responds to changes in another, central to elasticity analysis.
