1.

Price of commodity A is 10rs per unit and total revenue at this price is 1600rs. When its price rises by 20 percent, total revenue increases by 800rs. Calculate its price elasticity of supply.

Answer»

SOLUTION :We have,

PES `=(DeltaQ)/(DELTAP)xx(P)/(Q)=(40)/(2)xx(10)/(160)=(400)/(320)=1.25`
PES`=1.25` [More than unitary elastic supply or elastics supply]
