  • Uses percentage change in demand and price.
  • Formula can be written in expanded and simplified form.
  • Negative sign is usually ignored while comparing.
  • TE means price multiplied by quantity.
  • It shows only broad categories of elasticity.
  • Inverse relation between price and TE means elastic demand.
