Question #272820

what is the formula for measuring the price elasticityof supply? suppose the rice of apples



Expert's answer

Formula for price elasticity of supply:

Price Elasticity of supply= percentage change in quantity supplied/percentage change in price.

=PercentageChangeinQuantitysuppliedPercentageChangeinPrice=\frac{Percentage Change in Quantity supplied}{Percentage Change in Price}


PES=1200−10001100×10022−2021×100PES=\frac{\frac{1200-1000}{1100}\times100}{\frac{22-20}{21}\times100}

PES=1.91=2.PES=1.91=2.

Since price elasticity of supply is greater than 1, the supply is elastic.
