Price elasticity of demand, and what it decides about a price rise

PED = (percentage change in quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price)
PED = (dQ/dP) × (P/Q)

Profit maximisation and the shutdown decision, from one cost table

produce where MC = MR, and for a price taker MR = P

National income and the multiplier: where the rest of the spending comes from

Y = C + I + G + (X − M)
total effect = 1,000 × 1/(1 − c)  ·  multiplier = 1/(1 − c)
multiplier = 1 ÷ (the fraction of extra income that leaks out)
leakage rate = t + (1 − c)(1 − t) + m
multiplier = 1 ÷ leakage rate

Free from S.MONK School of Actuaries · smonk.in · every formula here is explained, with a worked example, on the page it links to.

Gathered automatically from the 3 CB2 explainers that teach these, so the sheet and the pages can never disagree. Worked arithmetic is deliberately left out — this is the formulae only.
