Explanation:
Price Elasticity of Supply (Es) is calculated using the formula:
Elasticity of Supply (Es) = `("Percentage change in quantity supplied")/("Percentage change in price")`
Es = `(10%)/(10%) =1`
An elasticity of 1 indicates unitary elasticity, where the percentage change in quantity supplied is exactly equal to the percentage change in price.
