उत्तर
Percentage method for calculating price elasticity of supply:
Price elasticity of supply refers to the ratio of percentage change in quantity supplied to the percentage change in price.
`e_s = "Percentage change in Quantity Supplied"/"Percentage change in Price"`
`e_s = ((ΔQ)/Q xx 100)/((ΔP)/P xx 100)`
= `(ΔQ)/(ΔP) xx P/Q`

Draw a perfectly elastic supply curve.
Identify the degree of elasticity of supply from the following graph:

- Price elasticity of supply of a good is 0.8, its supply is said to be inelastic.
- If the quantity supplied of a commodity remain the same whatever its price supply is said to perfectly inelastic.
Elasticity of supply is measured by:
Assertion (A): In case of perfectly inelastic supply, supply curve is a vertical straight line supply curve.
Reason (R): Supply does not change with change in price in case of Es = 0.
