At the market price of 10rs , a firm supplies 4 units of output. The market price increases to 30rs. The price elasticity of the firm's supply is 1.25. What quantity will the firm supply at the new price ? |
Answer» SOLUTION : PRICE elasticity of supply (PES) `=(DeltaQ)/(DeltaP)xx(P)/(Q)` `1.25=(DeltaQ)/(20)xx(10)/(4)`, i.e., `DeltaQ=10` As price increases, then quantity supplied ALSO increase. It means, New Qunatity =Original Quantity (Q) + Change in Quantity `(DeltaQ]=4+10=14` units. New Quantity `=14` units |
