Q

Regression analysis determines the functional relationship between variables and provides a measure of probable error. Multiple regression analysis involves the use of two or more independent variables (such as the number of shipments and the weight of materials handled) to predict one dependent variable (inventory warehouse costs).

Q

Elasticity of Demand—Elasticity of demand (ED) measures the percentage change in quantity of a commodity demanded as a result of a given percentage change in the price of the commodity

ED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price
This formula expresses the slope of the demand curve when showing demand graphically.

Q

If the “Calculated Elasticity Coefficient” is Greater than 1, the Elasticity of Demand is considered “Elastic” (% change in quantity demanded is greater than the % change in price).

If the “Calculated Elasticity Coefficient” is Less than 1, the Elasticity of Demand is considered “Inelastic” (% change in quantity demanded is less than % change in price).

If its equal to 1 its considered “Unitary”
