At a price of 8rs per unit, the quantity supplied of a commodity is 200 units. Its price elasticity of supply is 1.5. If its price rises to 10rs per unit, calculate its quantity supplied at the new price. |
Answer» Solution : PRICE ELASTICITY of Supply (ES) `=(DeltaQ)/(DeltaP)xx(P)/(Q)` `1.5=(DeltaQ)/(2)xx(8)/(200)`, i.e., `DeltaQ=75` As price DECREASES, then quantity supplied will also decrease. It means, New Quantity =ORIGINAL Quantity (Q)+Change in Quantity `(DeltaQ]` `=200+75=275` units New Quantity `=275` units |
