3. Cross Elasticity
The cross elasticity of demand or cross-price elasticity of demand measures the percentage change of the quantity demanded for a good to the percentage change in the price of another good, ceteris paribus.[1] In real life, the quantity demanded of good is dependent on not only its own price (Price elasticity of demand) but also the price of other "related" products. The concept is used to identify the relationship between two goods, they can be: • Complements • Substitutes • Unrelated 4. Arc Elasticity of Demand Arc elasticity is the sensitivity of one variable to another between two points on a curve. It is often used in the context of the law of demand to measure the inverse relationship between price and demand. Arc elasticity measures the responsiveness of demand to price changes over a range of values. The magnitude of change in price and demand is divided by its midpoint to arrive at a measure of change over a curve rather than at a point. Arc Elasticity Formula Arc elasticity is calculated as: Demand Forecasting The sales forecast is particularly important as it is the foundation upon which all company plans are built in terms of markets and revenue. Management would be a simple matter if business was not in a continual state of change, the pace of which has quickened in recent years. A forecast is a prediction or estimation of future situation. It is an objective assessment of future course of action. Since future is uncertain, no forecast can be percent correct. Forecasts can be both physical as well as financial in nature. There are different forecasts for different types of products like: (i) Forecasting demand for nondurable consumer goods:- These are also known as ‘single-use consumer goods’ or perishable consumer goods. These vanish after a single act of consumption. These include goods like food, milk, medicine, fruits, etc. Demand for these goods depends upon household disposable income, price of the commodity and the related goods and population and characteristics.
