I have a file which I have attached and I have been (for a week) trying to see how to calculate (1) price sensitivity and price elasticity when a price is increased by a certain percentage.
What I have historical data (2010 and 2011relating to
1. number fo students in a program per month/quater and year
2. The price per program per month/qauter and year.

I want to increase the school fees by say 4% in 2012. By increasing the price, will it have a positive/negative effect on the number of student that might enrol for 2012 by month/quater/year?
How can I show this using a chart and pv table?

I will really appreciate your assisatnce.

Wowsers... it's been a LONG time since I did any elasticity exercises.

I see Microsoft has a template for calculating price elasticity here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/price-elasticity-of-demand-calculator-TC001204353.aspx

And Wikipedia has an article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand

Honestly, I'm going to be much help to you on this one. I can certainly help you implement formulas and such, but I'm going to need you to do the research to figure out what calculations need to get in there.
