The price of a commodity is 10rs per unit and its quantity supplied at this price is 500 units . If its price falls by 10 per cent and quantity supplied falls to 400 units, calculate its price elasticity of supply. |
Answer» SOLUTION : Percentage change in supply `=(DeltaQ)/(Q)xx100=(100)/(500)xx100=20%` ES`=("Percentage Change in supply")/("Percentage Change in Price")=(20%)/(10%)=2` `ES=2` (Supply is HIGHLY elastic as `ES gt 1`) ES is ALWAYS positive due to direct relationship between price and quantity supplied. |
