The supply for a good rises to 1000 units in response to rise in price by 1rs. If the original supply was 800 units at the price of 10rs , calculate price elasticity of supply.

Answer»

SOLUTION :
Price Elasticity of Supply (ES) `=(DeltaQ)/(DeltaP)XX(P)/(Q) =(200)/(1)xx(10)/(800)=2.5`
ES=2.5(Supply is highly elastic as ES gt 1)
ES is always POSITIVE DUE to direct relationship between price and QUANTITY supplied.
