A producer received 10000rs when the price of a commodity was 100rs per unit. The receipts increased to 15000 when price increased by 20rs. Calculate the elasticity of supply ? |
Answer» Solution : PRICE Elasticity of Supply (ES)=`(DeltaQ)/(DELTAP)xx(P)/(Q)=(25)/(20)xx(100)/(100)=1.25` ES`=1.25` (Supply is highly elastic as `ES gt 1`) ES is always positive DUE to direct RELATIONSHIP between price and quantity supplied. |
