The price of a commodity is 12rs per unit and its quantity supplied is 500 units. When its price rises to 15rs per unit, its quantity supplied rises to 650 units.Calculate its price elasticity of supply. Is the supply elastic ?

Answer»

Solution :
Price Elasticity of Supply (ES) `=(DeltaQ)/(DeltaP)xx(P)/(Q) =(150)/(3)xx(12)/(500)=1.2`
ES=1.2(Supply is highly elastic as ES GT 1)
ES is always POSITIVE DUE to direct relationship between price and quantity supplied.
