If a price increase of 50% results in an increase in the quantity
supplyed of an economic good from 10 to 20 pieces, calculate the
coefficient of price elasticity of supply
Answers
Answer:
2
Explanation:
%change in supply = (20-10) / 10 × 100 = 100%
Price Elasticity of supply = % change in supply / %change in price
= 100% / 50% = 2

Concept: The price physical property of provide could be a live employed in social science to point out the responsiveness, or physical property, of the number provided of decent or service to an amendment in its value.
Given: Price increases by 50%.
Quantity of goods increases from 10 to 20.
Find: Calculate the price elasticity of supply.
Solution: Price elasticity of supply= % change in quantity/ % change in price.
% change in quantity= current price- previous price/ previous price ×100
= 20-10/ 10 ×100
= 10/10 ×100
= 100%
% change in price= 50%
price elasticity of price= 100%/50%
= 2.
Final answer: The price elasticity of supply is 2.
