If price of a commodity falls from 50rs per unit to 45rs per unit, its supply falls from 1000 units to 800 units. Find out its elasticity of supply. |
Answer» Solution : Price ELASTICITY of Supply (ES) `=(DeltaQ)/(DeltaP)xx(P)/(Q) =(200)/(5)xx(50)/(1000)=2` ES=2(Supply is highly elastic as ES gt 1) ES is always positive due to direct relationship between price and QUANTITY SUPPLIED. |
