A firm earns a revenue of 50rs when the market price of a good is 10rs. The market price increases by 15rs and the firm now earns a revenue of 150rs. What is the price elasticity of the firm's supply curve ?

Answer»

Solution :

Price Elasticity of SUPPLY (ES) `=(DeltaQ)/(DeltaP)XX(P)/(Q)=(5)/(5)xx(10)/(5)=2`
ES=2 (Supply is HIGHLY ELASTIC as ES gt1)
ES is always positive due to direct relationship between price and quantity supplied.
