Quantity supplied of a commodity increases by 50% when its price rises from 8rs per unit to 10rs per unit. Calculate elasticity of supply. |
|
Answer» <P> SOLUTION : Percentage change in price `= (DELTAP)/(P)xx100=(2)/(8)xx100=25%` ES=`("Percentage Change in supply")/("Percentage Change in Price")=(50%)/(25%)=2` `ES=2` (Supply is elastic as `ES gt 1`) ES is ALWAYS positive due to direct relationship between price and quantity supplied. |
